Re: Project Orange to Green

Here's some pics of the new stuff. Hopefully there will be some progress this week
Switch box, pair of P2 12s, stall converter(thanks Ole Blue 68), and a brand new GM A/C control.




I also got a few new tools. Wheel dollies, jack, pipe bender, work stands, and some other miscellaneous stuff(finally got some of those neato butt welding clamps). Most of it is cheapo Harbor Freight stuff but it'll be good enough for what I'm doing.

They are on sale at Harbor Freight for 39.99 a pair til July 21. The casters aren't the greatest, but they can be replaced later if they get too bad. I can still manuver my truck around easily by myself now though

Re: Project Orange to Green

wait, let me get this right.... you bought a pipe bender, THEN you got a set of work stands?? couldn't you have just made a set with your nifty new pipe bender?

i'm guessing the extra switches are for your side to side action.

nothing wrong with the HF stuff for hoby work like this.

to be honest, i like the stepside better on your truck.

either way you go though, it still looks awesome.

Re: Project Orange to Green

Dang, when did you get a fleet ???

I like it, but I always think of your truck as a stepper
If you go with the fleet I want you stepper or vise versa
