the old shop was 675/mo this one is 800, 3 phase, natural gas heat, bathroom that isnt just 3 pieces of plywood.

in all honesty i feel like this new shop is just more comfortable, our landlord has some sweet toys now and hes very helpful and is working with us with everything, letting us borrow his forklift/ and hes going to have his electrician wire everything we need for free (well not free because we are paying him rent) but the other guy still hasnt fixed our heat from when we first started renting

im happy with it, tomorrows the big move so ill get some pics up when we settle in

Hey man
truck and shop is comming a long ways.I gotta ask a favor if you can.I see your truck is a non a/c truck. Is there any chance you can somehow give me a dimension how far the cutout for the heater core is to the blower motor hole is and how wide the square is for the heater core?? I just need to know so when i have to make my cutout i got a rough idea on its whereabouts.
My cab was a a/c cab at 1 time...

thanks
pat

Vile,
the truck was originally a non a/c truck.I got the non a/c blower motor and housing for it.  just need to cut out the hole for the heater core.I shouldve done this before i painted it.

I've always wondered about the wiring for the taillights. Do you just cut em and use a butt connector later?
