(Loaded with crap)I'm getting a new van tomorrow evening I think. It's supposed to be delivered from San Antonio tomorrow. Wish it was a high roof like knarly's but I'll make it work! It's a 2016 Transit 250, long wheelbase, 36,000 miles on it. New enough! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in it completely now, still have a crate or two to sort through.. the old van is sold to a guy that wants to use it for a RV and travel the country! I'm still modifying things as I go, but no break in work means I only do a little at a time. I need to label everything with a label maker. I need to add a pull out shelf for a workbench still have to button up the ceiling panels and wires for the lights are hanging a little Loaded up for a radiant tube heater install. Probably my favorite type of heat to install. Love boiler work, too .. These yellow bins were from the old van, now moving everything to the blue bins and those yellow bins were only half of what was in the van... .. I just quickly put 1" and 1/2" marks on the top of the shelf above my brass nipples for quick reference For my black iron nipples, i use a caddy, but brass aren't used as much so i decided against using a caddy for them... I want to put a permanent tape/ruler here in its place sometime... .. Oh and I found this interesting: there's no gas cap, you just push the gas nozzle in from the pump and pump away.. .. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
