Shop Pictures

How about sharing some photos of your shop? Here are a few of my shop. I only work on 4-5-6 Chevy Trucks, but I also do woodworking and commercial general contracting, so my trucks are always fighting for shop space with my construction company.

Re: Shop Pictures

Thats a great looking shop! I have a 45x99 Morton building that I want to turn into a shop. It has a stone floor and in is not insulated. Big bucks to transform it into a workable shop.

Re: Shop Pictures

nhtc33d:

I specialize in 4-5-6 Chevy Trucks and although many parts are interchangeable between the '60-'63 and the '64-'66 Chevy Trucks, I have tried to be model specific, due to the limited space, resources and finances it takes to cover several years, makes & models. I do provide some '60-'63 Chevy Truck stuff, but my favorite are the 4-5-6 Chevy Trucks, because I drove then through high school and college...started collecting them several years ago and accumulated lots of parts inventory over the years.

Re: Shop Pictures

the more I deal with 60-3 vs 64-6interchange, the more I notice that is different from the early trucks.
really only the box and front clip will interchange... there is alot more different than I thought.
I have a 65 parts truck for my 60, and so far I have only been able to use one part!

Re: Shop Pictures

My 66 won't fit into my typical English size garage. Too narrow and too short! I keep tools and spares in there but the truck won't fit!!

Is your truck a right hand drive? It is super easy to convert over to a right hand drive.

My friend has. He used a power steering gear box out of a s-10. Completed the conversion in a weekend.

Re: Shop Pictures

Right-hand drive was available in the '60-'66 Chevy trucks from the factory. I don't have the photos of one, but I have seen them.

Re: Shop Pictures

Here are some pics of my shop. I build cabinets for a living, so my truck gets a little corner for parts. The " parts section" is kind messy!! I'm going to try to add on to my shop this year just for my truck.

Re: Shop Pictures

I don't have much of a shop. Here's where mine lives.



Here's a picture of a reflection of the truck when my car was in the garage. That counts for something, right?
