What year did glider kits start

That was a reason,but the other big factor back then,you could build essentially a new truck,to your specs,save a ton of money,and you did not have to pay 12% federal excise tax on a glider,but you did on a new truck. When I bought my glider new from IH in 1984,it was purchased through the parts dept.,just like you were buying a filter. Went to title it in Md. after I built it,they wanted me to bring it to the DMV,have an inspection done,then get a special constructed vehicle title,baloney. Went up to a tag and title place in Lancaster,Pa., I had used before. Gave them my certificate of origin,that came with the glider,got tag and title in two days,no problem,no special built vehicle BS.

 

Gorgeous! More pics please!

 

My 78 glider
3408 with 15 over

 

Paint scheme is similar to my buddy’s 79 A model....

 

Yea @OLDSKOOLERnWV That scheme was very popular back then.
Like the color on that 79.
Don't think I would have Pete paint that color again for me.
Lawdogs had a good memory.

 

That they do....

 

I am sure you have been in that situation before.

 

Never late with a 3408!
