Life savers on a truck

admin

Im talking tips and tricks to keep with you on your truck that save your rear when you need them. Maybe we can help each other here by exchanging ideas.I carry gasket material. When ever i have a wierd fit like 4" pipe to 2 1/2, i make one saddle and really take my time doing it to do it right. Once its perfect i take out my gasket material trace it and make my templet and with it being gasket material i put it in my box of goodies and save it for the next time i need it. I cant tell you how many times the 45 degree saddle to vertical on 2 3/8 pipe has come in handy.Weldandpower 225Heliarc Rig for itTorchesect ect ectLifes Short WELD NAKEDLooking for a SA200
Reply:A long prybar, a couple wedges, and several chunks of plate from 1/8" thick to 3/8" thick. Amazing how fast you can lift and/or line something up with nothing else.
Reply:A bottle jack and a half C clamp that I weld to the part needing to be moved. I also have a handy man jack
Reply:I carry a milk crate with scrap pieces of metal and wood of various sizes.   Good for use as spacers for lining things up and for help clamping things together.MM350P/Python/Q300MM175/Q300DialarcHFHTP MIG200PowCon300SMHypertherm380ThermalArc185Purox oaF350CrewCab4x4LoadNGo utilitybedBobcat250XMT304/Optima/SpoolmaticSuitcase12RC/Q300Suitcase8RC/Q400Passport/Q300Smith op

Reply:Chain hoist, assorted nuts, bolts and washers, and the biggest sledge you can find (with the handle cut down to about half). Shorty sledge is great for gentle adjustments in confined spaces. Rubber boots and a change of clothes (especially socks) can also be very handy. Oh and a shovel. And a five gallon bucket.Ranger 250 GXTSmith Gas Axe
