Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
 

oh no he didn't :tms::whine::me2::drama::jest::D


speaking of cold.....anyone have a good idea for a heater to heat a 2 car garage, and not have problems with fumes?

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
 

joe,
I know you hate pictures on your forum but this is what I use.:lol: you can burn both kerosene and deisel. it has a thermostat and works real well. I leave the door cracked just in case but the fumes are not that bad.

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
 

Sorry. I've been a bad Jason this year. Will your ole lady let you leave the door that goes from the garage to the house open? Sorry, I'm not being serious again.

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
 

MAN I HATE PICTURES :devil::sumo:

:lol: believe me I have tried :lol:

I was just looking at them today;)
they have a little electric space heater for $17.....

Thanks for the link :metal:
where does the angle contact the cab?
oh and what wall thickness did you use?

you got plenty of scrap laying around......get busy man!! :ito:

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
 

The doors will have to be removed,and it will contact the top of the door jamb were the rubber seal goes.I used 4 weldig clamps to clamp the angle to the cab just for a little extra security.The thickness I dont remember,but you will have to besure one tube will slide in the other.

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
 

Will do! I have an idea ill do some figuring later ;)

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
 

cool man, that is what i thought.
thanks for the info

cool :metal:

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
 

Hey Joe, I bought a heater from Northern tool that runs on 220v. Its small but heats up a nice area.......they have larger units that were reasonably priced. Just need to do an electrical remodel first.

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
 

you mean to tell me it gets cold in AZ..........
:lol::devil:

you have a model number?

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
 

:lol:

220v i bet it heats up nice!

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
 

The one I have is made by a Canadian Co. called Ouellet. It may be too small for your application....its 20a/240v....4800W. I think the model is #020075. Its not labeled, but I think its correct. I know they had bigger units with more output. I have used it on a couple cold mornings in my carport and it warms the local area pretty well. If it was enclosed it would do better.

It was only 50 today......by weekend it will be in the 30's....cold for the valley. Im wearing my thermal shorts again.
