Thanks, Ed It's a stock replacement as far as I know. It was new with the truck but varnished inside. I cleaned it out with the rotating pebble treatment on the engine stand and sealed it with Red Kote, and painted it. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 442 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 442 | nice reference points ! thanks..

I, like Tom, am interested in your shop. I am thinking about building something this spring and I am interested in the dimensions. It looked like you had plenty of room to make things happen without being too cramped.
Thanks,
Phillip

Phillip Thanks, its only 22x36, maybe looks bigger in photos. there is a a full width loft 8x22 which is great. Also about 18ft to roof peak so lots of height to rig stuff up. PS make it bigger! | | | | | Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 1,084 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 1,084 | Nice job. Thanks for posting.

Why do farmers insist on drilling untold number of holes in dashes? Bed sides? Anywhere they could think of? On my wedding day, we were decorating my “new to me” Dodge Dakota and were having trouble with the pom poms. Dad piped up, “Just drill some holes along here (the top bed rail) to help tie them off.”
Uh...noooooo.

Also, with the gas tank on the engine stand were you cleaning it? Can you explain that process and your results? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2019 Posts: 1,003 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2019 Posts: 1,003 | Nice job and cool video. Whats the dogs name?
