After reading countless posts about modifications,

Whether it be a cummins swap, hemi swap, auto to manual tranny swap, great welding skills and fab, cab swaps, etc...Ive decided that Id be happy with just the garage/barn space you guys have.
Carry on with all the great write ups and pics. Alot of guys/gals here have some amazing talent

Uh....I have NO garage space. I litterly have been doing my freshtomodding in my yard and in my parking space on the road. No joke. It can be done. I have over 1300 pics so far that can prove no need for a garage, just some good tarps and weather with a bit of fab skills and the proper tools of course.

Garages?! We don't need no stinkin garages!


I have the Big Sky Garage and weather permitting, you really don't need one. I find determination and motivation to be the most important factors. I have friends with garages and my truck is still farther along then some of the projects they have had for years lol

I'm a little spoiled, but my garage seems a little tight. I miss living in the country and having a shop with a couple bay doors at my disposal.

I have a small 2 car garage that I do my work in also. Right now I have my 75 supercab project going on and the wife's van outside which she isn't happy about.

I do have an old block dairy barn i converted to a small shop , but i have done a lot of them in the back yard . When i pull the engine i do have to leave the over head door open so i can push it back to get the engine out. I have a Ferguson tractor with a loader bucket on front to lift and haul engines and other heavy parts around with. I use it a lot and could not do much with out it at my age , 71 , with out doing some body damage , mine , not the truck. Plan to keep doing it as long as i can though.__
