Re: What did you scrimp on for your shop and later wished you wouldnt have?

Don't know, I'm new at this. I can say I'm sorry I did without a $20 air drill so long. An impact wrench is nice too. I have an engine lift and equalizer I haven't used yet. $700 in paint supplies I haven't used yet. Nice floor jack etc. Getting ready to buy a transmission jack, suspension & brake tools, and an engine stand. All I can say is this is a money pit man, but I'm in deep. Unless I move, I may never use this stuff after the rebuild. Until then, I'd rather have them in the garage than not.

With assys, the guide accts for 1000s details, OEM identifications & part numbers, written in short order. 700+ images of assm., illust., charts, and points of interest. Much of the info. applies to all 67-72 GM trucks, and to a lessor degree all 67-72 GM vehicles. My build thread, and more on the guide https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=730025
