My other Truckmount project

More parts are ready

Remember this



Sand blasted and powder coated

Today the floor is getting sand and clean ready for tomorrow to be paint with the black bedliner

Nice work G. Is part of that machine on coasters?

Sorry I don't. I bought them at a local supplier for air-conditioning equipment. Might be the same in your area. They had several sizes.

Lookin' Good!!

There are several options out there. I'm going with Stall Mats or sometimes called horse mats and you can find them at farming places like Tractor Supply. They come in 4x6 panels of 3/4 inch thickness and are often made of recycled rubber. Try to find ones not cured with sulphur or else they tend to stink for a few weeks. Also a good idea to choose the kind with ventilation ribs underneath to prevent mildew although these mats are non-absorbent by design.

You could also go with rolled rubber that is sold in rows of 25 feet, but they normally only run 1/4 or 3/8 thick. Look for custom flooring shops or gym suppliers for the rolled stuff and they often come in different colors....of course, they are more expensive than the horse mats.

There is something kind or ironic that you powder coated a "White" Magic in a black shade....might be some sort of evil brother.

Thanks Moe those are just for moving the unit out of the way

Thanks for the observation millspec6

I have to ask, are you doing your own powder-coating? I only have access to one around here that will work with small jobs, but he will only do things smaller than a truck wheel.

I really does look great!

Yes wow, it looks really really good, make me want to take one of my machine out and re do the paint again, it's kinda dingy from years of use, did you do that yourself G ?

The powder coating Shop will do anything and the price is fair it. , he charged me $425 for the whole thing including the chemical rack sand blasted and paint

Hmmm, I'm tempted but damn I have to find someone with a forklift to get my everest out of my van and not to mention the reinstallation, sounds like too much work

DP I have a 2 ton engine hoist that will pick up the Everest and pull it right our of your van, if you want to do it.............just ask, Bill!!

Dave, that hoist will not fit in between my machine and the ceiling of my cargo van, even if it does there won't be enough clearance to lift it up an inch to get it out, we tried

Sounds like you need a forklift!
