I'm always fascinated with organization. Looks like you've got it down

How did you manage to get a stop light?

Nicely organized! Got a couple of questions .... what are the dimensions of your shop? In pic #4 there is a black tool chest in the center of the photo, what brand is it? I see the air line, but where is the compressor? Roughly where are you located?

Hey love that "office" or should I say garage chair you made out of the car seat. I'm glad I'm not the only one with a garage that's not spit and polished, but fully functional.

I thought this shop was for some big metal! You don't have a NADA or Blue Book guide for heavy trucks do you? I need a value for a Peterbilt.

go to truck paper.com. do a search on a truck with your specs, not too specific , just year , motor , sleeper size and you will be able to find plenty of comps. hope this helps , johnny

Ahhh ... I see the compressor now. So how do you like the Torin tool chest? Does it seem to be of good quality? It appears to have a nice drawer configuration ... I like the full width drawer at the top, but are the lower four drawers too deep?

Really like that press! Is that a m-11 Cummins under the blanket?

 

[fatboy99]

Its a Series 60 Detroit Diesel

 

[Bigwhite11]

what year is that 359? Looks pretty good for it's age!

That was my first thought because of the color, but looking at it I didn't think it was large enough. Hard to tell on a laptop display I guess.

Thanks

like the box . i would say it is the same as a hf though. drawer depth is good. i have a 1 inch tire impact wrench in the bottom drawer.
