Head bolt leakage
I have a tendency to mess with something until I break it! My 36 truck is “done” but seeps a little anti freeze out of a couple studs. It’s very minimal and I almost have to really look to find it....

Re: 4 post lift

Misery loves company
I’ve been in my shop looking for a part that I set aside so I would know where it was when I needed it. I’ve looked everywhere and had no luck. Are there any other folks out there that have to buy a...

Re: 4 post lifts
So I’m going to add another question to this and it’s around the power source. I ordered the caster kit that allows me to move the lift around so it made sense to get the 120v so if I moved it to...

Re: Engine Steady Rods
I received a set of the brackets from Mark that work well. When I go to put the engine steady rod in I’m about 1/8 of an inch away from being able to get the bolt in through the frame. I thought...

Re: Engine Steady Rods
Thanks again to everyone that chimed in. I’ve talked to Mark and he is sending me some brackets and someone here on the barn offered to give me a set of rods so I’m in great shape!

Re: Engine Steady Rods
I believe those are the rods, or something like what I need. The engine is in the truck and I’m not interested in pulling it out. It appears that I don’t have any holes there, that don’t already have...
