I bought a semi-truck chassis

[zackchien]

Long story short, my dream is coming true with the support of my beloved wife.

I bought a 2025 International HV507 4*4, 219 wheelbase. Planning to build a 15/16' box, a sub-frame.

I was so happy when the chassis was delivered.

I ordered buckstop bumper / no lights / no winch.

I ordered 100gal + 50 gal fuel tanks

I ordered 22.5 offroad tires ( so difficult to locate 14/r20 tires)

I ordered 48v alternator.

I ordered baja designs lights.

I have it wrapped with PPF.

More coming as we are on holidays.

I got tons of questions and thoughts.

Rad base truck congrats! Which motor do these come with?

That’s interesting, but more drivetrain details please.
Axle ratio, lockers, tire size?
Which transfer case?
Transmission?
There’s a Roadranger I really like for offroad mobility, their RTO-11909ALL (or higher torque ratings)
It’s an 11 speed, 0.73 overdrive, 26:1 lowest gear.
Available in autoshifting version also.

A beast! You won't have to worry too much about saving weight with that!

I'm a mobile mechanic for the International dealer in Spokane WA. I approve of your purchase and if you ever make here stop and say hi. Did you get the Cummins L9 and Allison 3000 series trans? Diff locks?
