Don't knock it. I bought a cheap $40 harbor freight grinder to do the floors and rockers in my '85 CCLB about 15 years ago, and I still have it!!!

Re: Grant's build thread
That's good to hear Gregg. I'll probably be using mine pretty often, so I'm not expecting a lot out of it. It'd be nice if it did last a while though.
Anyway, I got the water pump back on. It looks like it was only sealed with rtv, and no gaskets.  I do not remember doing that at all!  Maybe I forgot to put the gaskets in there? Hell, I don't know. I'm surprised it lasted this long.
All scraped and sanded clean and ready for the new gaskets.
New gaskets I made. Remember, kids, real men make their own gaskets!
I forgot to take a pic of the gaskets on the pump with the rtv, but I put a thin layer on both sides fo the gaskets and smeared it around evenly.
Re-installed and (so far) leak free.
Yes, I know my engine is dirty. No sense in keeping it clean when before long, it'll have an ls..........
What?

Re: Grant's build thread
I used to get my grinder so hot,from prepping metal,you couldnt hold on to it w/gloves. Thats the only one Ive ever burned up but theres still plenty of time.
Get some cup brushes for yours,they are great for prepping and cleaning steel.

PM me I have a few thoughts as to why your gaskets failed.

Re: Grant's build thread
Got some new toys! Urm, I mean tools!
Throatless shear. I'll probably mount it to the top of my welding cart when I get it built.
36" sheet metal brake and stand
These are mainly for my business, but I'm sure they'll come in handy on the truck whenever I work on it.

Re: Grant's build thread
shouldnt this be in your vendor thread? instead of getting me all excited about your build thread.
