Thanks for all the replies. I have decided on adding 32' to my existing 24'x26' garage making it 24'x58' with the new area having a 13' ceiling with the wood shop below with only an 8' ceiling height. I have consulted a structural engineer and he is designing a steel beam floor system capable...

I have just had a fire at the shop I have rented for over 20 years and am in the planning stage of a shop attached to my home. I have been a carpenter wood worker cabinet maker for nearly 45 years and a back yard mechanic for longer than that. At this point I am considering an over under...

Welcome Nick, Keep on moving at your own pace you'll get there. That truck looks great so far. It seems you have it well thought out. One question though, with the shaved rain gutters what is your plan for sealing the doors to the cab for no leaks? Again it looks great!

Some of us don't have the $$ for such things or the knowledge to make them work. Some of us resist the computer age we are only here kicking and screaming and work with what we understand like carburetors, points, electronic ignition etc. It's not for lack of intelligence but time and...

In terms of a paint booth this is way over my head. This is just an observation but if you have already applied equal pressure of intake and exhaust air with filtration on both ends wouldn't you have what you are looking for?

Typical old navy build. I started with junk and hope to end up with a Diamond but it may be just a piece of coal. The frame was the only usable part I bought. Everything else is from aftermarket parts or hand built /fabricated. This is my first complete build after owning several of these...

I'll be interested to see your new design and see how it works. Keep us posted.

If both colors were available for the 54 the choice is yours. If you want to stay with tradition the color available for that year would be the one for me.

Great looking truck!! In 54 I think Forester with a Seafoam roof and flip flop stripes at the beltline is a great look

Thanks Evan, I just ordered one. I'll let you all know how it works out.

Thanks again Evan. It may be some crazy plumbing but I also think it could work. I don't want to be a pest but whose pop up are you welding into the fender to make it flush? I'd like to paint it in.

Thank's again Evan, You have started me thinking about a single pop up mounted in the forward section of the fender that would have a Y to feed both tanks with individual vents. If i remember correctly 80s vintage chevy one tons used this setup for dual tanks. I have a transfer switch, valve and...

Thanks Coilover, I have seen a lot of your work and I am very impressed with your knowledge and skills. I have seen your Blazer set up on your previous posts and would be happy to use it if not for the IRS. I can make what I need but just thought maybe someone would remember the setup I am...

Thanks Coilover. I have seen your work before and am very impressed. If I hadn't used the IRS that Blazer set up would be my choice. I know what I need I just can't remember where to find it. If all else fails I'll have to make my own.

Thanks Zig. It was the only solution I could come up with having already paid for the headers.
