    Custom made shop tools

    Not a shop tool, but wife wanted a unique wine rack. Bottles purposely angled down to keep corks wet. Bought 12 "00" horseshoes from tractor supply and welded them up. Used some steel rod to tie both ends together.

    Custom made shop tools

    The belt loader truck at our station has 2 service doors on the side right next to one another. One for fuel and one for hydraulic fluid. Even though these panels are clearly marked for gasoline and hydraulic fluid, the people at the terminal have put gasoline in the hydraulic reservoir 3 times...

    We were "gifted" a "new" to us lav service truck for our station. Ford 2.3L fuel injected, automatic trans. I say new to us because the fuel was stale, and I think they pulled it out of storage somewhere and said hey ABI needs one, just give it them. lol. Several pieces of our Junque is...

    That sounds sooo typical. A buddy of mine was a senior master sergeant running the local AFB GSE dept, and the waste that the military does is epic. The stuff he told me just shocked me.

    Civilian use. Our pickup trucks, and the 2 company vans are gasoline too. We get what they give us to use. We go through their parts dept in DFW to get what we need to fix this stuff and they just put it on a flight coming in. I suppose that's why we have what we have motive power wise, because...

    So I made this for the GSE guys for their battery charger and battery related stuff out of 1" square tube, and 1" angle. The hooks are for jumper cables, table top is for the batteries they might be charging. Underneath the table top is for a wheeled battery charger. The top shelf is for the...

    As everybody here knows, I am an aircraft sheetmetal mechanic and I run a sheetmetal shop for a major air carrier. Well myself, and the crewchief opposite of me at the heavy check base I work at were "voluntold" that we would take over the GSE (ground support equipment) shop in addition to our...

    Tool Warranties... Who cares?

    I have Snap On ratchets for home and work. No questions asked when warranty repair or replacement is needed. These rarely break. Other than that I have harbor freight sockets, craftsman, stanley proto, S&K, snap on. Never an issue with any of it.

    1995 Silverado K1500 ECSB Starcraft Conversion

    About $500-$600 for a good bed. Hard to find those not beat to hell though. Lot of burbs and Tahoe's in the yards. Same front clip. Buy a whole truck out of the newspaper, bring it home. Take what you need, and sell the rest. Up there, you will get more for it than we will down here. Down here...

    my 1994 silverado

    So years ago I did some auxiliary interior door panel indirect lighting on my silverado. I used green 12V LEDs and lit up the door panel pockets, and back lit the door pulls and wired it up to the dash lighting. It's just a nicety that nobody notices except at night. Anyhoo I am doing the same...

    So y'all want to here a funny? Well here it goes. Those who have been following what has since become a journal of sorts here on GMT400 know about the hit n run on my wifes impala a few pages back. Well between a ton of overtime before Christmas, I finally was able to get stuff taken care of...

    88-98 Bucket seat alternatives

    Drove my wifes 2015 chevy impala today. The buckets are pretty comfy and have a nice adjustable lumbar. That car is listed in the Katzkin leather seat inventory. I can get the seat covers for it, and doll them up in a 2 tone grey to match my 94 Silverado. I may be taking a junkyard trip soon...

    Keep your OBS

    And dont get me started on spider injection on the OBS, because that's junk too. My 94 has dead reliable 2 shower head TBI. Who the heck thought plastic tubes in a hot environment on an engine would be a fantastic idea to carry fuel? Pull that crap off, install a 4 bbl intake, a F.A.S.T. EFI...

    Build of my ‘88 RCSB C1500 owned for 20 years

    I had to do something similar when I put an electric fan on my 94 and ditched the factory shroud. I used a piece of .050" stainless steel
