Buying them full price on the trucks? No. Being patient and getting them cheap off eBay and other secondhand routes? Yes.

I’ve been wanting to put together small vintage kits for him to start out with and decided SK would be best since it’s got a higher tooth count. It’ll give him something to use when working on his bike and go kart or if he wants to help me do something on the cars.

I’m searching secondhand on eBay, but may have most of what need in this thread already.

Planning to look into all the links over the weekend. Overall the truck isn’t much different than the 93 c1500 I had before, but I wasn’t very technical about any of the repairs at that time.

I’d like to be able to do any type of repair on it including rebuilding the drivetrain. I’d like to have all the correct torque specs and processes at hand instead of having to filter through potentially incorrect info on the internet. It’s had a pretty hard life even though it’s relatively low...

Snagged this SK 1/4” ratchet today. I’ve already got a bunch of SK 1/4” sae sockets and a few metrics. Gonna try to hunt down any missing ones along with one of the old metal cases and give it to my son for Christmas.

Well dip me in butter and slap my buns! Looks like ours offers that along with alldata. Gonna get some use out of my sons library card.

Yeah I figured there wasn’t much difference, but we all know how manufacturers can be.

Probably more digitally than anything. Shop is about a 30 second walk from the computer. Morally, I’m on the fence about it, but price is a big factor. I do want the actual books at some point along with the transmission specific manual.

Thank you! I’ll have to do some reading this weekend. I’ve been trying to join that gmt400 forum with no luck. Gonna have to try it on a desktop I guess.

I figure service manuals are tools in a way so I’m posting this here. I was looking on eBay for service manuals for what was my grandfather’s old K2500 4x4 and found some listings for the hard copies, but they were hundreds of dollars compared to cd and usb versions for much less. Has anyone...

I’ve never had snap on ask me for a serial when calling for parts to a box. If your local dealer isn’t going to be walking in and recognizing the box, you really don’t have anything to worry about. What debt is owed is between snap on and the original purchaser.

Payment via Zelle, Venmo, or PayPal f&f Snap on 8-19mm socket set and 6” wobble plus extension. Used but still in good condition. $85 shipped SOLD

Yeah it’s complete and still gets used. Just figured it might be a good idea to replace some of the old stuff. Planned to take a wire wheel to it and clean it up and repaint it and clean up the insides.

My father in law has this old Reed 3C in his back yard. How hard are they to find parts for? I’d love to restore it for him as much as I can. He bought it at an equipment auction where he worked and that was probably at least 30-40 years ago so it’s seen some use. It’ll probably never be like...

Saw that thread just after posting this. I’ll message him.

My dad got me an Astro 783105 ratchet and a 6-24mm set for my birthday this year and I managed to break the ratcheting mechanism a few days ago working on our Corolla. How’s their warranty? Tried calling and didn’t get anyone but I’m not their only customer so I’m not gonna hold that against them.
