hard to tell in the pics but the top is slanted down about 2" in the back in the final design

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Very nice for you but not for me. The cardboard box is hard enough to wrestle in, a metal one would be impossible. I guess I would have to give up my man card if I had to do one.

Le's do a little Truck Math:
Swap meet Dorman 1/4" wheel spacers: $5.00 bucks twelve new 7/16-20 thread 1-3/4" long wheel lugs: $45.00 dollars https://media.tenor.com/Ay19-AbBCfIA...gover-math.gif |

finding that two of my lugs already were replaced and did not match the others made justifying getting all twelve new ones easier

RE: rivnuts
apologies for late response, but I have a few words of advice regarding rivnuts they are very useful for creating blind hole fasteners but a couple of things frequently overlooked material thickness, grip length, steel/aluminum I bought my tools and rivnut supplies from mcmaster-carr, actually have the luxury of will-call here but they ship everywhere this tee handle has a 1/4" drive in the center for ratchet assistance the die sets are high quality steel tools, haven't broke one yet I mostly use aluminum bodies but a good supply source like mcmaster-carr will offer enough stats to make solid choice although late, hope that helps and good luck! https://www.mcmaster.com/product/98590A100 https://www.mcmaster.com/product/98590A260 https://dl.dropbox.com/s/5zaow4z1are..._8669.jpg?dl=0 using steel washer for test pieces, one on right showing wrong grip length - distorts fastener angle and holds poorly or slips in hole https://dl.dropbox.com/s/wpg5mmc4xrw..._8899.jpg?dl=0 |
