What a sweet score on that crew cab. One of these is on my build list too. Sorry to hear about the dent in the cab. It's always something. I have the same compressor in my garage and it has been great. Now that I think of it, it is going on year #7 and I haven't had any issues other than a leaking drain valve.
-The crew cab will be a fun project that I will build for myself. I am excited for that project and hoping it will motivate me to push forward on the trucks in front of it. As for the dent it made me sick when it happened. Had to take a day or two to process what happened and what would be the best way to fix the issue. One thing I have figured out is the longer the truck build goes on the more chances for things like this to happen go up.
I'm looking forward to seeing this one finished. I have a 71 K20 in the same color combo but it is much worse. I just actually picked up a new floor for it I just need 72hr days to get some stuff done.
-I feel you on that one. I am always trying to figure a way to fit in some truck time and balance the other responsibilities with life.
That laser would be sweet for sure! It would be cool to make some type of thin wood overlay for the glove box doors where you could burn logos or whatever on them. You could probably sell a lot of them.
-I do have a few projects in mind for both the cnc machine and the laser.

Response above in blue text above.
Picture 1 is from this weekend dragging the carcass of the crew cab back to the stable. All the doors and parts are in the inside of the cab. The rest of the items I transported in the bed of my truck.
Picture 2 is a cart I seen in my neighborhood last week. The company was using it to move a big spa into a backyard. I ran out and watched them do it with ease and thought it was a great design for moving cabs, front clips, beds to and from my side yard. So I am working on a version of this to use here on my property.
