hoggyrubber, I frequent Mr. Holloway's place off and on. I purchased 2 dies for this brake from him. Helluva place :D
The little 66 Chevy is my parts runner.
Sarge, the fella that had this, rebuilds almost every machine he buys before he starts using them. He just redone this one, a few months, before I got it. :cool:
I repair semi refer trailers and a half dozen semi car hauler trailers so, I make a lot of parts and this sweetheart is the perfect size for the job. It's not too big for the occasional car part either :rolleyes:
 
Very niiiice. Wish I had something like that, and the space to put it, and the time to use it, and, and.

Have fun and keep your fingers out of the way. :)
 
it will come in handy for fabricating:
L metal reinforcements for trailer rails
Stringers for trailer floors
cross sills and bedsides for pickup boxes
channel frame rails from sheet
chevy truck arms for center drive suspensions
any heavy guage bending for the fabrication of dump boxes truck beds and rolloffs

treads and components for design-build commercial stairs like you see in any commercial building...the ones that have a steel frame and the treads are filled with concrete

custom diamond plate aluminum tool boxes and 36" wide deck covers rear fenders mudguards AND misc dress up items for semi trucks...
Lots of things
