Keyblazer, Have been following for quite sometime. Sorry to hear about your dog. I truly understand. Have lost several, one was almost 19 years old. Current one is a rescue tripod, she is about 3. I haven't got into sheetmetal or body work. But think I will soon. Will probably attempt to do...

It got the last laugh. :monkey_po :monkey_pi :tantrum2: I feel like I need to encapsulate it in concrete and bury it. CT

Thanks Justin. I know we as engineers have unachievable expectations sometimes. Maybe I hoped for too much... At least the heli-coil was inserted properly and didn't unwind. RH is expenssive. Blue Top was higher than giraffe anatomy. Blue Top was started by a former RH employee using the same...

RANT. Haven't called Red Head Steering Gear yet. Do not know if it will go anywhere, but I feel I need to express myself. Supposedly they are a premier steering box company. FAQ has much info. When explaining their core policy, they require a good, complete core for full core refund ($150 this...

Finally got 10 lbs in a 5 lb sack! Trying to convince the better, prettier half that WE need a lift. Bench pressing a 46 lb, top heavy gear with one arm, on my back, on the floor. Between big block FE, exhaust manifold, frame rail and brake lines. Had to get gear in position, hold in place...

Very nice. Haven't restored anything shellac. Agree with the post that discusses sanding. Try not to do it. CT

This s*** is getting old ... "Reman" parts house steering box would randomly **** the bed and drain out. Randomly, I say. Parked 3 weeks, quarter sized spot of fluid. Pushed truck 20 feet, did not start it. Then pissed this on floor through output seal. Something inside must be loose/worn...

Yeah Justin... Is it a whiff, a snort or a SHOT? :3gears: Side note, thank you... I believe you have talked me into a 445 FE stroker for the 1975 F250. CT

I believe that copper line isn't acceptable for NG in many locals, only black iron or CSST. Also, compression fittings aren't acceptable in many LPG locals, only flare, with copper... My friend has about 100' of 1/2" PVC underground feeding NG into his shop. :eek: I'm not a gas expert, so...

EDIT. Live in shop? CT

I like the Leviton Toggler Fan Control switches. IF you do not need to reverse the fans from the ground. 3 forward speeds and off. CT

I just went through this replacing all under the hood components on a 1975 Ford F-250. Layout of parts and hoses can be challenging! CT

Thank you Brad. I was originally going to get the $300 manual Mastercool kit with 3 dies. Gambled on this China set with hydraulic crimper and 7 dies (some for reduced barrier hose). I had a few crimps that weren't the prettiest, but could have been operator error? Actually, one of the#6...

Very nice instrument. Very accurate, I'm sure. I also like vintage tools and machine instruments. Have been catching up. You have been very busy, Vlad. CT

Glad I could assist in adding another tool to your "list of tools required to build a truck!" Its not Greenlee or Enerpac, but it surpassed my expectations. :beer: :3gears: :beer: CT

Outlaw, I'm going to assume that you had an auto-correct typo. The crimper did an awesome job. I made 4 hoses with it, 3 different sizes. #6, #8 and #10 hose. IBOSAD Hydraulic Hose Crimper Hydra-Krimp 71500 Manual A/C Hose Crimper Kit Air Conditioning Repaire Handheld Hydraulic Hose Crimping...

Random pics... 3 legged dog napping. **** piles up quick! Harbor Freight 5 drawer tool cart with side table. Rainy day Thursday, before hurricane Delta. Had doors retensioned. CT

Almost done with AC rehab on 1975 F-250. Amazon, China, hydraulic ac hose crimper with 7 dies. <$140. I'm impressed! Parallel flow condenser. Should have hit brackets with satin black. Filter/Dryer Expansion valve and Evaporator connections. Damn you Ford... GM puts these in a more...

Shop updates. No order! Got a hell of a deal on a Springfield Armory XD-S 3.3 in 45APC. Only 0.9" thick, single stack 45. Approved new CCW! I call it the "Noisy Cricket!" Also came with some ammo. After inventory, I now have over 700 rds of 45 APC. It is a handful, but not as bad as a...

Agreed. Rules are Rules. ******* or not, I would hold the neighbor to stucco finish. Otherwise will look like **** next to yours. Yours SHOULD be the standard for the city to follow for the CC&R of the neighborhood. I chose to live out of the city on acreage. Built a steel pole barn basicly...
