Storage ideas?
Hello enthusiasts! Truck is coming along and in the stage of actually starting 2 putting back together. I have a favor of you all and the favor is this. I'm working out of my small garage and wondering if anyone had any ideas or preferably pics on shelving ideas. My garage is 15X24 and with the Merc inside, well, lets just say it feels like I'm working out of tin can. If anyone has any pics or ideas it would be spaciously appreciated! Cheers!

I had the same issue when living in town, instead of side shelfs, I hung everything from the rafters of my garage...had to be careful not to bump your head, but it sure made getting to stuff and working on it a lot easier.

I had the same issue after I built my shop I started buying equipment till floor space became a premium, I did the same as Mike and started going up on the walls with some shelves to get the stuff I did not use that much off of the floor. One of my band saws, break, both of the shears and my welders are on rollers so I can put them back up against the walls when they are not in use. I converted my tubing bender to hydrolic so now it does not have to be mounted to the floor (it was always in the way) It seems to work so far but I keep buying equipment and this is all in a 500 square foot shop so it can be done. I did a scale drawing to see where to put things so I would have the most room.

There was a topic on here a few months back I started about showin off your shops? I dont remember the topic, but maybe someone who "knows" how to use the search feature can pull it up for ya? As I recall Jon got the prize for the most use of space I've never had much success with the search feature? It always brings it up eventually, but I have to go through so much other stuff to find it? But it is a very good topic if you can find the page?
Later dude

This is off topic but since I'm in Cold Lake and just getting into the world of old trucks, have you had anyone local do any work on your resto and if so, did they do a good job? You can pm me if you have anything good or bad to say. Thanks

I hope the relocation project went well. This is off topic but since I'm in Cold Lake and just getting into the world of old trucks, have you had anyone local do any work on your resto and if so, did they do a good job? You can pm me if you have anything good or bad to say. Thanks

I've got some good advice from trial and error on getting parts, either locally in canada or in the U.S.
Best of luck wid da truck
