Our '66 Short Fleet Build

[TimE]

Yea, that was rckcrln(sp?) but he now has that truck for sale that he was gonna build the tilt for. Let us know if he says otherwise.

[joe231]

is he selling on here?

I asked him again, i don't know why it wouldn't work to slightly modify the tip and flip dolly for the 67-72 to work on ours body style.....


edit: found it


looks like a nice project of $2100.99

[scotts62]

Ill tip and flip the cab for ya but don't think you will like it much

I have the cherry picker wonder if we could make something to lift it off easier..?

[joe231]

that sucks, you better hurry temp is dropping.

Good one Jason

[joe231]

oh no he didn't


speaking of cold.....anyone have a good idea for a heater to heat a 2 car garage, and not have problems with fumes?

joe,
I know you hate pictures on your forum but this is what I use. you can burn both kerosene and deisel. it has a thermostat and works real well. I leave the door cracked just in case but the fumes are not that bad.

Sorry. I've been a bad Jason this year. Will your ole lady let you leave the door that goes from the garage to the house open? Sorry, I'm not being serious again.

[jason65]

I saw the Ho depo had some electric and propane ones for less than $100.

The doors will have to be removed,and it will contact the top of the door jamb were the rubber seal goes.I used 4 weldig clamps to clamp the angle to the cab just for a little extra security.The thickness I dont remember,but you will have to besure one tube will slide in the other.

Hey Joe, I bought a heater from Northern tool that runs on 220v. Its small but heats up a nice area.......they have larger units that were reasonably priced. Just need to do an electrical remodel first.

you mean to tell me it gets cold in AZ..........


you have a model number?

[scotts62]

220v i bet it heats up nice!

[protrash64]

The one I have is made by a Canadian Co. called Ouellet. It may be too small for your application....its 20a/240v....4800W. I think the model is #020075. Its not labeled, but I think its correct. I know they had bigger units with more output. I have used it on a couple cold mornings in my carport and it warms the local area pretty well. If it was enclosed it would do better.

It was only 50 today......by weekend it will be in the 30's....cold for the valley. Im wearing my thermal shorts again.
