I could've done the swap in 1 evening afternoon (I had already had it apart so everything was rusted up solid lol)

It took about 2 days she talked to him, not much help lol

Started an oil can collection today.

My grandpaw had the 2 small ones (was using them) I takled him out of them washed em and got all the crap outta em. Got the marvel mystery oil outta the tool cabinet in the shop we have a even bigger can but i gotta use some of it before it goes on display. We have more around I just gotta find em. Alot of the old farmers have em too! My gfs grandma gave me some old 60's licence plates (hanging in the shop) and I wanna build a cool old shelf outta some old barn wood and put it in my room and put antiques etc on it)

I know literally NOTHING about wood working lol but I may try it sometiem (my grand papa is a pro at it, but wont understand why i want it to look old/ugly) some people dont understand patina lol

No they won't bolt in.
Not that it can't be made to work,... but it's a totally different housing and width.
