Girls are in bed so been building my shop - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Solver · 11-29-2011, 06:27 PM

Got the girls covered up and put to bed. Had a new building put up so I haven't had much truck time.Was nice to be able to wash and wax them up before bed time. In years past they were covered with dirt by spring in the old barn. I have been adding a shop on the inside of the building and have it just about done. Then time to start back in on truck stuff.
A lot more room to work .I would still like a four post lift. That's the last thing on my wish list. Don't want to spend more than $2000-2500 so not sure what I'll find for that. Anyway we love pics!

Outstanding. I'm sooo jealous!

NICE! I dream of a place like that.

You should invite us all over for a shop warming party.

Very nice, not since a car lot in 1972 have there been that many '72 super 10'a in one spot.

Great looking shop ya got there!
For the 4 post lift, check this one out. Looks like it's right in your price range with a few bucks left over for shipping or chassis jacks.

Very nice...can you tell a little about the steering wheels and maybe a closer pic?

ETsC10 · 12-01-2011, 12:17 PM

Nice job you are doing there!
I have a smaller 2-post (8,000#) that works well for me.
Made by Direct Lift, Model # HR-8000
Gives a lot of bang for the buck if a 4-post won't work
for your floor plan.

68C15 · 12-10-2011, 07:58 AM

very nice! can I come visit this winter?

if you are intersted in a 2 post, we are replacing one at work as soon as the new one shows up.

2 years ago we replaced the 4 post with a new Worth 10K lb. unit. with shipping I think it was about $2800ish
