Excellent work on the BMW rack and the fenders- and I normally dislike those cars!

Looks to be an S-10 series truck? First generation? I have a solid axle swapped 89 I have a few more changes to make, like making a front bumper, modifying the existing bumper in the back to accommodate a winch, replacing the 1" bolt pivot on the swingarm with a trailer spindle, and so on..

BSaint- please keep us informed on this toolbox build. A Build thread dedicated to it would be choice. I need some pretty extensive tool storage, don't want to spend thousands of dollars on a couple cookie-cutter rollarounds. I am particualrly interested in how you'll make the drawers...

Great info here, I should have realized the size of the line and the reg quality would come into play...

This. That's the plan.

:sighs: I honestly have to think at this point you're just messing with me. I mentioned several times this is NOT the goal. ;P :lol_hitti

Regards the rental-place cherry pickers and hitches- haven't seen one, and none of the places within 50 miles have them, according to a quick phone canvas. I don't intend to spend a ton of money on buying a towable unit, don't need a towable unit. I have the unit/victim in hand now. The lower...

OK guys, I don't know how else to put this, as I have said it multiple times already: I AM NOT going to run an engine across the yard on a hoist.

I don't know what a Jib hoist is, this bears investigation. I just picked the unit up, will do some thinking on this through the coming week and start burning metal this weekend. I can definitely see the wisdom in having the ability to hook it to my receiver hitch, thus making an extremely...

WhyMe: Let's think this through: The impact, like any other pneumatic tool, is basically an air motor. There's (presumably) an impeller, air pressure makes it spin, that does the work.... Given that flow is a function of pressure and volume, at lower pressure there is less flow. Thus less...

Plywood is a no-go, as I've been there done that. I need something that can traverse large amounts of ground unladen to get it to where I need it, and can then travel short distances to pick/place on the wagon. Plus, having priced ply lately, I can do this mod cheaper. Since folks seem to be...

Tracked down the specific model, it's HF #93840. Well-reviewed, should work well for me.

FFlint, thanks for attaching the pic, I was having trouble picturing your mods. Pretty sure this hoist has 3X3X3/16 for the main boom. At any rate, even if I find it necessary to replace that piece of steel I am stil into this cheap. Confidence is high this is not necessary though. GREAT idea...

RVDan, how large were the tires? Larger tires make it easier to roll. I don't intend to roll engines around on the hoist in my backyard other than far enough to clear the bay. They'll then be dropped as low as possible as quick as possible onto the utility wagon I am presently building- 13"...

In reference to pics of my project (1989 S-010 Blazer solid axle swap using 1982 Jeep Wagoneer Dana 44's), Overall shot, showing my Pit Crew (Australian Shepherd and two ******* yet lovable Black Labradors): Photobucket seems to be blonde at the moment, will post more shortly...
