Re: 1954 Chevy / S10
Finally ready to start making the floor. My bead roller is finally powered after 10 years of having to crank by hand. I made it at the shop I was at before this one. I made everything but the gears, sprockets, chain and the motor. I went on the cheap and bought a harbor freight 110 volt winch and made a new center section where the cable spool was. I made it so it can still be free wheeled for when I make the 30 inch removable wheel crank. I tried it out and it will take 18 gauge and start a 1/4 inch bead and run in a single pass and it also has forward and reverse. It runs about 23 inches a minute. Here are the pictures.
