Complete tool list?

[Erik the Awful]

A full list, not specific areas or purposes. A list of gods for this model truck. THE list of lists. It doesnt matter if theres only a single bolt of its kind and youll likely never even touch or see it in the most hardcore restorations, it needs to be on the list.

You're more than welcome to make that list. Most of us have big toolboxes with all the tools we've collected over the years working on different stuff, because in ten years we will likely be wrenching on something different. Also, there are far more specialty tools than you will ever use, but when you need that one specific tool, you really need it. That's why parts stores keep tools on the shelf - they're gonna sell. Making one list to rule them all is not practical, but if you're volunteering...

And when you think you've everything you need, I'll bet you forgot the 5.5 mm socket and/or wrench.

What takes the 5.5mm?

Whatever it is, it’ll probably break tomorrow because I don’t have it.

Thought that was a Ford-ism?

LMFAO!!

You need to be more specific.

Like a list that stops at 50 grand worth. lol

I ran into one not long ago doing a heater core on a 97.

Trim, heater core (as @skylark mentioned), distributor cap nuts (OK, a Philips works too), I can't remember if the ICM in the distributor uses it too. But there's a few all around. And NO, IT'S NOT A FORD-ISM, LOL.

A good idea. I never needed a 32 mm wrench or 22mm stubby until I worked on my BMW. New to GM trucks so I’m no help

I've personally only used it on Ford stuff. TFI module, coil screws, and a couple random body panel fasteners.

Good to hear GM isn't the only ones using weird sizes.
