Good deal.

Hmmm.... Looks like 3 16+inch diameter by 6+inch width rims, attached with a 1/8 inch wire for a cooktop. Not sure what the smokestack is for. Looks like an open design to me. I could certainly do that, just need to see if I can find some rims lying around, im sure either I have some or someone close by has some.

I did make a BBQ, might take that design and change it over to a shop heater.

Thanks for the idea don! perfect weekend project. I would do it during shop class, but I need to finish my dragon.

I've probably got 40-50 rims laying around. A friend of mine want's me to make a bunch of them so he can sell them in his store. a quick way for Harley to make some quick bucks.......

Definitely, there are a lot of salvage yards around here. Im sure to find some. Heck, I saw a ~1967 truck cab bed and frame at the scrappers in December.

Thats the only thing the majority of chevys are good for. Beds and other random projects. The only thing I can think of is the same as any toyota, a good mudding rig that can get the daylights beat out of it and be fixed, at a cheaper price. Granted they break easier.

I do like a few, such as the 70-72 c/k 10&20's, apache series...
