Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Thanks Dale and Gary
Spent the day running errands and mowing grass..
Got a few minutes before dark to work on the bumper..
Cut the old frame mounts off , they were 1in thick steel, 10in tall and 16in long...wwwaaayyyy overkill to hold the bumper ..
Then welded up some holes that had been cut in the bumper,
tomorrow before work I'll cut out some new mounts and get it welded up..new mounts will be 1/2" plate...still wwwaayyy overkill, but its what I've got to work with
I've already cut about 4in off each end of the bumper,making it just under 6ft wide, holding it up there it still looks to wide , so I may trim some more off..right now it's as wide as the outside if the fenders
