Which Build Next? IH S Hood

[Warren D]

Many years ago, (around 1984) I bought a ERTL International S kit (10 wheel tractor) with the plan  of doing a small 6 wheel dump used by CTDOT and many towns at the time.  The project got shelved and I recently found the box with only a minimal amount of work done to it.  I have been thinking I'd like to do a 6 wheel day cab tractor as there were many of them running around.  I noticed that there are dump bodies and plows now available in resin and I'm thinking of the original project again.

So, my question to those of the forums, which project sounds better:  A 6 wheel dump with plow (orange, of course) or a 6 wheel day cab (white, as they were for the most part)?  I know it's going to be up to me, but which of those hasn't been done (or done often)?

All opinions considered.

Those S Series trucks look perfect with a plow set up.  I remember seeing them on the highways back in the 80's.  I vote plow with dumpbox.

I second that!  Dump w plow would look great together. 

If ya decide to build that , drop me a pm I have the Montone dump box and hardware from the autocar kit I'm not using. That would work well on the back.

Sorry for my 50 cent to the converstion. If I have an International S-series, I would build a safe on wheels (a bank truck). Sertanly it wasn't offen.

I guess it will be the 6 wheel dump.  The day cab would be the easier build (and cheaper) but the original idea still has appeal.  While I admit an armored car would be interesting, it's way down on my list.
