Hi Rob, I really enjoyed the video. I have an 87 IH S2375 with the L-10, six yrs now of working it and on it. Added Jake's and 13spd this past year with a full rebuild. Couple of terrible vids on my channel, but I love it. New sub here! Rob

That’s pretty much how this one was when I got it, just the rubber floor mat in some spots. Damn steel cabs

O-H-I-O Porter greetings 🇺🇸 Just found this today. Well, this is one truck I’m gonna have to check the videos on. Love this style of cab…they were boxy, stout & full of pizzazz! So it was a Toter truck? It makes a much nicer semi truck! Love the color! Hey, considering you pulled it out of the weeds, it didn’t take to long to make it a nice rig & one to be PROUD of! Thanks for showing this. I will share this Porter Quote: Make the trip , but don’t forget to enjoy the ride! You will probably NOT get too tired of driving this truck! Blessings!🥰😎✌️

@robstruckshop80 Жыл бұрын

Thank you! It was a road tractor from the factory, then converted to a wrecker of sorts, a boom truck that could move beans and follies for house moving as well as pull a house itself during a move. Then I converted it back to a tractor. Thanks for watching!

@robstruckshop80 Жыл бұрын

Someone had poorly installed them in the headliner before me- I did a slightly less poor job! There’s really not enough room for them in that space, I had to pull the headliner down to meet the speaker grills, but it works

@coniferous320 Жыл бұрын

Those leds may be causing flasher issue. The circuit needs load to work properly

@robstruckshop80 Жыл бұрын

I thought that, but the flasher worked fine for a while with no short flashes. A new flasher solved it.

Looks awesome!! Did you get the turn signals figured out?? Relay issue because of the LED's instead of incandescent?

led lights dont draw enough amperage to heat up the bimetal strip in the flasher to open the circuit. pick up a led compatible flasher before you go too deep.

@robstruckshop80 Жыл бұрын

I have to admit I do too- at least to drive. The Loadstar is a 55 year old truck and drive line…. Fit and finish on them was poor, and they’re small, loud and generally uncomfortable. But it looks awesome and is pretty reliable as a restoration.
