If my 1978 Sears 1 1/2 ton floor jack dies before I do, I'll probably try and rebuild it. I've considered buying the HF 3 ton aluminum in the link above, just to carry with me on road trips with the car trailer. Old faithful I talked about above weighs 600 lbs.....or feels like it to my 66 year...

If you can swing it, you should consider getting that 10' strip of gravel paved to make life easier with the forklift. My gravel drive is packed road bond and is harder'n a minsters :eek:! I buried my old forklift to the belly pan faster than I could even think "Uh oh!" :BangHead: Congrats on...

Great advice so far. I'll amen a few things others have said. #1, and first thing I would look for if I ever bought another forklift....pneumatic tires! #2 Propane powered....and have a few tanks. At least one to run on and a full spare waiting in the wings. #3 get one plenty big enough to do...

I do my own stuff, and use the one that @YY1 posted above. Make sure you get one that fits your face well, or you will get small leaks next to the bottom/sides of your nose. The filters clog up quickly and are expensive to replace, so I have found that covering them with coffee filters held in...

Step 1 - Cut the wire long enough to hang out the ends of sleeve! :lol:

I don't know if I'd move to Crawfordville, FL. I don't even know how many episodes of "Cops" I've watched that were filmed there! lol

You'll have that thing stacked to the ceiling and be back in the parts business before you know it! Hate you had trouble with the contractor, but it's a nice, dry place to work. We need to get out to see y'all. I thought things would slow down a little when I retired.....nope! :BangHead:

Around here, more and more of the panhandlers are getting them because they skirt the registration law on liquorsikles! Tell me those leaches aren't making some jack if they can afford those bikes! The telephone and cable guys are finding them taking naps at the phone slicks and cable amps, with...

You'll have to do floor pan and torsion bar crossmember surgery to use either transmission, but I know that wasn't your question. I would choose the 545RFE over the Nag1. Now that the8HP70 is in play, I would pick that over either of the others. Back when I was planning to do a 5.7 in my 70...

Looks great, but I don't know if the motor on the red compressor is big enough. :poke:

A longer piece with a cap works good to soak driveshafts. Put the driveshaft down in the pipe with a wire rigged to pull it back out, stand it up with the cap glued on at the bottom and then fill it up with rust remover of your choice. :thumbsup:

You moved right slap dab in the middle of WNC Moonshine country, so what proof is that stuff?! :lol:

Someone on here a while back said that Covercraft makes all the covers for California Car Cover Co. I don't know if that is actually so. Both are nice covers.

@volaredon Click the link below and download this to your computer or laptop. It will stop them. I had quit going on Moparts until I downloaded Ublock Origin to my laptop. It works. If you just look on your phone, I do not know if they have a version for that, as I rarely fool with this stuff...

Tri City Plating....right there in The Volunteer State! Elizabethton, TN, near Johnson City. They are the best there is at replating bumpers!

That's awesome! Did you get the truck straightened out?

If I were to buy a new 4 post lift right now, it would be either a Wildfire or an Advantage. They are both patterned after Backyard Buddy 4 post lifts, which are the Mac Daddy's of 4 post. To me, the design of the sliders surrounding the outside of the posts is much safer and stronger than the...

Steve, I have a 4 post lift in my garage. It's good to store cars up top and to put them over onto a rack I built to store 4 in the place of 2, but it is kinda sucky to work under. It's fine to change oil, R&R a transmission or an 8 3/4 chunk, but kind of a pain in the butt to try and do any...

If all else fails, go to the sporting goods store and buy a snorkel to wear while you use it.....lol. I have a cheaper auto darken helmet too. The auto darken part works great and I have no issues with fogging. My biggest problem is glare on the backside of the lens from the overhead lights...

Tank looks nice! Did you use any hardener in the Rustoleum? I think it's about the same as the Alkyd enamel paint that Tractor Supply sells for tractors and implements. They sell a hardener you can add to it, and it supposedly makes it dry quicker and makes it retain the shine much longer.

You just need to practice on scrap for a bit. Like Rob said, welding with gas is WAY easier and better than flux. Ed made a great suggestion about being able to see what you're doing. I wear my glasses when I weld. Watch some You Tube welding instruction videos. There's some good teachers on...

It might not hurt to see if the 12" pipe has any blockage before you get too far along. Maybe you and your neighbor could team up to do it. Get a few 5 gallon buckets of water to pour down the drain, and one do the pouring and the other watching the end of the pipe in the field. If it gets there...

Who's Ray? Was it his tree, or does he work at State Farm? Anyway.....hope you get your garage fixed without a lot of drama.

My shop just has the clear sealer on the concrete, that you roll on with a roller. It's hard to tell it's there these days because the shop was built in 2007. Plus it's full...lol. Downside to that type sealer is that if you spill gas on it, or lacquer thinner, it eats the sealer and makes a...

Amen on building as big as the wallet will allow! Mine is 40 x 40 with a 16 x 24 room off the back. It's so full, I'm waiting on an investigation by the FAA just any day now.....cause it looks like a plane crash inside! :BangHead:

If your yard isn't too steep, you should be able to do it by hand with a Maddock and a shovel. You should probably set it up on some concrete blocks anyway, to get it off the ground slightly. Just find your highest point, get a 4" cap block level on the ground and stack another one on top of it...

That's a nice looking Duster! I hope you find the help you need. :thumbsup:

If it's the original engine, or at least the right year engine, won't it be stamped 383 C or C 383 on the pad under the distributor? I'm not well versed on big blocks, but if I remember right, they were. C is 67, D is 68, E is 69, F is 70, etc.

If you have a Northern Tool store in Columbia, you can buy glass media there if you use all yours up. I used to use sand in my cabinet, and it worked ok. Even though it was inside the cabinet, I could smell it and that was scary, so I wore a respirator just to be safe! I switched to crushed...

I have a small resin shed at our beach place, maybe 3 x 5. It sits about 1200 feet from the Atlantic ocean. It have 2 of the long dog tie out anchors screwed in the ground, one on each side in the mid point of the shed. I have a half inch rope tied across the top, not cinched down enough to bend...
