Helos are legit!

Oh cool, working on F-trucks...Now that's post-worthy!

EDIT: Just took another look at your blog. Looks like one RS a day or so...The thing that got me was that you don't post much yourself so it looked like loads of RS posts. All good. Following now anyway.

It’s gonna be fun... once winter decides to leave and I can tear into the parts truck and tank those axles out... I need a shop at my house really bad. Lol

Yeah, I can imagine working in the snow isn't much fun. Can't you use the workshop at work?

Ya I can, but the parts truck still has a lot of parts I need to get out of it. Without axles it isn’t too ful to move. It still has a motor, transmission, transfer case... I got the whole thing for $500 and just the axles sell for $1,500. So I scored pretty good. I have sold some stuff off of it and got $300 back. So far a $200 investment is all

Nice! That's the way to do do it. I figured you would be using the shop at work if you could make it work but asked anyway. Blonde moment. Lol.

We are pretty lucky to be able to have access to the shop. I believe we are one of only a few that allow employees to use the equipment and facilities for personal use. It’s definitely something we don’t want to screw up.
