Re: I Hired An Installer Today
Leo - are they WeatherGuard boxes on that truck of yours??
Is that something new? ...they look much higher and deeper than the usual side boxes I see. Model name or number on them?? |

Re: I Hired An Installer Today
Yes, weatherguard boxes. They are superboxes. 21 cu ft of internal space. They are not new to weatherguard, this is my second set. The first set lased about 10 years, started to rust through at some of the seams that were not clearly visible because of the setup.
Model 297-3-01 Steel Jumbo Super-Side Truck Box Looks like they have upgraded the box since I last got them about 2 years ago. New handle and 3 point latch for security. Looks like most other thing are the same. I paid about $600 a pc for them.

Re: I Hired An Installer Today
I can carry tall objects in the truck that I cant in a van. On quite a few occasions I have put 94 1/2" caninets standing up in the truck, several of them. Large walls of paneling can be put in quite easily, not so in a van. I can carry just about all my tools and still have the full space of the bed to carry whatever. The only nice thing about a van is that it can carry stuff in the rain and keep it dry. I have made wooden racks that wrap around the boxes. At one time I had two of them and I could put a sheet of ply over the bed and keep it reasonably dry during rainfall.

That just Pisses me off. Well I guess the only positive action to come from that is in 50 plus years when it becomes declassified people will know the truth about items you can only find in a museum!

Re: I Hired An Installer Today
seems like that man has a mighty large truck for a cabinet installer.....unless he uses his truck for other "contract" or "piecework" jobs....it doesn't justify the gas/operating costs.... that thing is huge and subject to commercial vehicle inspection plus magnet in California with tthe Mobile Tax Patrol also known as the California Highway Patrol

Re: I Hired An Installer Today
Like Gus said, he has at least 8 saw horses in that last picture. Plus those folding drywall benches which could also use for saw horses. I think he may have a saw horse fetish. May be time for an intervention or 12 step program.
That is a big truck. I don't think that is going to make it at the drive through. |

Re: I Hired An Installer Today
I think that guy has a large truck to compensate for his lack of his "man size assets". It just doesn't make sense to be driving that thing around.........how can he afford the fuel unless he's brewing biodiesel at home or stealing the fuel somehow.

Re: I Hired An Installer Today
My guess is the guy has been
doing something other than cabinet installs and interior trim until the bubble burst? ....Gus?
