    Does anyone’s workbench . . .

    I can't even see my workbench! There's headers, control arms, oil filters, tig parts.... hell I think there's a whole steering set up for the c10 somewhere in there.oh and those are some Caprice 9C1 HD steel wheels I welded together as a barstool. Never finished. Typical of me.

    Kinda off topic

    Looking for crossmember for the old c10. Gonna run full length headers n true duals with maybe X or H pipe. Anyone found a crossmember they recommend? Jegs has absolutely nothin and Summit is kinda vague on their selection. 86 c10, long bed, th350, lowered bout 3 inch, 2 1/2" Exhaust.

    The Broken Tools Thread

    No broken tools today. Have broken a couple tekton tools. Warranty is super easy so I'll keep using them. Did find a switch from a ratchet on garage floor. Checked all my ratchets and they're all fine. Dunno where it came from. Was worried it was part that fell off Huckleberry while I was...

    Proform valve covers

    I'm runnin the black crinkle proform tall valve covers. Adding oil is a pain in ass cuz of baffle below oil cap. I think I know the answer but wanna know if anyone else has experience before I do it. Can I just drill or cut a hole in that baffle? Off motor of course.
