others have seen this one before but wanted to share it with ones who haven't seen it. first off I am a HUGE IH fan.this I built as a tribute to my late Uncle.he hauled milk from the farm years a go and this is who he drove for. his were mostly single axle trucks but they did have a 2674 but it had a square tank. thanks for looking.    |

Now that is a nice milkey unit. I kinda have a thing for internationals also. I like the use of the Lindberg tanker, as this is what is was originaly designed off of. I remember when it first came out it had the bordens Elsie the Cow decals for it.

Jim, that is a great build! I like how the tank sits on that IH frame, the use for a straight truck is much better than to build it into a trailer. The third brakelight is a nice touch too! And, with it being a tribute to your late uncle, I can understand it's even more special. Well done good friend!

Jim,
Real nice milk rig, I agree with the others abut the use of that trailer kit as a straight truck.
And I also like the Internationals , Mainly the big pit fendered 5000.

Great model! I like this combination of two different manufacturer's kits.
Interesting connection of sorts, the boom truck at my work is an '89 S2600 which started life as.......a milk tanker! True story, we bought it a couple years ago and as part of the process involves a printout of vehicle's previous owners. First one was the milk hauler! Crane went on the truck a few years later after it changed hands the first time.
I imgaine it looked very much like your model when first delivered!
