I’ve been walking around piles of parts and moving parts because they’re in the way etc. After a back and forth with John (UtahYork) re: his misplacement of parts I have decided to do something about this sooner than later.
As we know, a dismantled truck has a bewildering array of parts, and takes up a lot of valuable floor space if you do what I have done, which is to sort of try to keep everything together. I’m going to spend some time in the next couple of weeks cleaning out and repurposing our hen house as a truck parts storage area.
I’m going to build some shelves, and have an area to store sheet metal, suspension parts, heater, door panels, seat frame and seat parts, radiator, core support and all the miscellaneous stuff ( you all know the list) I have taken off and will need again in about 4-5 years.
It’s really something I should have done when I took my truck apart. We all know we’re supposed to bag and tag everything as it comes apart (done that) But we also need a safe storage space to put all the big bits. We need shelves, and we need to be able to find our parts when it comes time to re-assemble.
