Why didn’t I get this sooner - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

rockyrivermark · 03-05-2021, 07:08 PM

Build the shop in 2008. 1,200 square feet. Added heat, central ac, full woodshop and cable tv
I should have done this first! No more working on my back and once I vault the ceiling the c10 will go under the cougar which will be restored by this spring. bartered the lift for 1 small custom vanities and two laminate counters, good deal for both of us.
And the wife thought I spend too much time out here before!

What s the make and model of this lift? I need one in my shop. TIA, Rob.

rockyrivermark · 03-05-2021, 11:35 PM

Mark me down as jealous as well!

**FleetsidePaul** · 03-06-2021, 10:33 AM

Add me to the jealous list. Very nice!!!!

1976gmc20 · 03-06-2021, 11:47 AM

That would be great but first I would need a shop to put it in.

**oldwagon** · 03-06-2021, 11:58 AM

Jealous here too, but sad part is I don't have a shop to put it in.

NorCalC20LWB · 03-06-2021, 12:14 PM

Very nice. How tall of a ceiling do you need to put one in?

weq92f · 03-06-2021, 01:11 PM

.

Ohhhh yes! At one time I considered MaX JaX as a solution for a standard sized(height) garage/shop.

In the end decided against based on cost and overall functionality. I think the 4 post in this case wins.

Now I have a buddy that just installed a full size 9000 pound two post that I have access to whenever!

I'm dealing with a 9 ft ceiling, so I'm looking at this. Better than lying on my back! Comments?

Bought a "Worth" in 2000 when I started my 49 Chevy PU build, it has done 4 more builds since then and has made countless trips up and down...way too many to count.

That and my forklift are without a doubt were the best investments ever IMHO.

I said precisely the same thing (why didn't I do this sooner) after I finally bought and installed mine. I use it ALL the time. Heck, if nothing else, it's handy just for stacking cars with to free up more shop space.
