Inside the Grain Bin Garage - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Ron 586** · 09-10-2007, 07:17 AM

In a recent thread I promised to get some shots inside the bin if I could get some of the junk moved out. With the help of a young man Eric Armstrong we have the shop up and running even if some more junk has to go.

**Ron 586** · 09-10-2007, 07:24 AM

A few more.

**Ron 586** · 09-10-2007, 07:30 AM

Did I tell you it's still a little junked up in there.

**Ron 586** · 09-10-2007, 07:39 AM

And on we go.

**Ron 586** · 09-10-2007, 07:51 AM

The last group. It don't tell the whole story but we will save that for later.

The wood and pipe is to build a cover for the air compressor and pipe air into the shop. As you can see he is working hard on my old 78 Camaro. He works a day job at a local body shop then comes over after work and on weekends.

looks great to me Ron

72BlckButy · 09-10-2007, 08:15 AM

Lots of room in that thing!

I'm envious!

72gord · 09-10-2007, 08:18 AM

One question Ron....is the upstairs for storage? I assume it is and for the bin- shop idea, that is a great use of something you already had on site!

When I get some shelves put up and get things up off the floor I will post some pictures. Right now it is one big mess.

Yes it is for parts storage and it is crammed full at the moment. I have to throw away a lot of treasures to make room for more of the parts we will be taking off the trucks we dismantle.

cory321 · 09-10-2007, 08:52 AM

Awesome

Bishops Trucks · 09-10-2007, 09:01 AM

That`s one shop I`d like to be`round.I just moved out of my seed`n`fertilizer bin(rectangular).I joined the two,but you could tell the seed side from the fertilizer side.The fertilizer side concrete was all pitted and pocked.

dave2953 · 09-10-2007, 11:54 PM

I've always thought you had a really cool shop. I dig the shiny compressor you have, too.

Ivan D. · 09-11-2007, 12:38 AM

Love this pic, the white shortbed looks like it's about to back up under and hook the semi-trailer for hauling

I'm going to be moving that big rascal soon but I will borrow my buddy's Peterbilt road tractor. I don't own any way of moving it.

sdkid · 09-11-2007, 01:55 AM

Great, 1 more thing on the want list. Looks great. I have a buddy that has a smaller one for storing his parts. I never thought of a grain bin as a shop though. What is the diameter of it?
