I need to get a shop built to work on my trucks, and it will also house the National 6066 GMC Trucks Club Headquarters and My collection of 1960-1966 GMC Stuff.

I know that whatever I come up with will not be big enough, but it will need to house two trucks, (1965 GMC 2500 One Ton Dually & 1960 Chevrolet L60 Viking), the 1953 Farmall Super C Tractor, and the GMC Twin-Six V12 Project, not to mention that I'll need some office space as well. The doors will need to be tall enough for the Viking to fit under them. I'm also hoping I can get attic space for my future Railroad Project.

I have been looking at some of the Pole and steel building site on the web, and at some of the shops you guys have, I even put one of your shops on my Museum & Club Headquarters page of my site.

My biggest problem will be that I don't live on a flat piece of ground, but I have been thinking of making one bay taller by using the slop of the ground to have the one bay deeper and keep the roof line the same as the rest of the building. like a step down in the back for the taller bay.

So lets see those shops one more time, as I lost all the other pics you guys posed the last time around with my hard drive crash.

Thanks.

Jolly...I can't help with that slope thing, as everything here is flat, and with a little water on top.
The only thing I can come up with is that you've got to get rid of that Farmall C. Does it have hydraulics? Is it a Super C? Do you have any implements that'll go with it?
I may be able to help you to have more room in your shop.

Norselander, that would be a good ideal for the summer months, but it gets cold in the winter here, not much snow any more but still cold. That carport part would need to be boxed in to be able to use it in the winter. I have been wanting to make that area drive through, maybe with a sliding door in the back.

I have been looking at some barns around here, and talking to a few folks, my fater-in-law bought a Cleary Building pole barn and he told me they come out a put it up for and give a 50 year warenty. All the others he looked at you had to built it your self, or hire some one, and there was no warenty. He said if the wind blows it over or just take a panel, they come out a fit it free. their website don't give mouch info, but a dealer is only 12 miles away from me. I got info from them at the County Fair, so i guess my next step is to give them a call.
