Idk if this is the correct place to put this but....


The new Adrian Steel shelves I'm putting in the new plying van at work are way nice IMO.

The cabinets are plastic, but nice and thick and go together stupid quick with the little black twist screw thing. I've put together ten or so of these trucks and the shelves are soooooo much better than the damn knaak ones we used in the past.

A couple of the cabinets stacked in the garage would be a great hardware storage item, and be taken apart and reconfigured in a matter of minutes.

Awesome!

I drove a work van for ten years doing acoustic ceilings /t bar.
Having proper storage boxes in the back is so nice. The system you guys got there looks super quality. :thumb:

Heck yah dean it's sweet. Bolt the cabinets to the shelves and its in. If you wanna add or subtract type of thing, it would only take a few minutes and a screwdriver and a couple wrenches. :pimp:

I'm enjoying this part lol. I used to loathe putting shelves and cabinets together with our old setup.
 
Are they pricy? With them being plastic injection molded they should be fairly affordable.

Ill ask the boss man monday how much they cost rob :waytogo:. Im hoping not too much, 6 of them or so would be badarse in the shop.
 
I love storage stuff for some reason. It's kind of an addiction. I'll take any kind of cabinetry or shelving. I love being organized I guess. I like everything in my garage to be in it's right place so it's easy to find again.
 
Yah we have 2 full tubs of what we call the chevy bolts. Literally all bolts off of chevy trucks that have been removed. Would love to organize it all.
 
I have a junk bolt bin and it has body bolts and other fasteners off some of the first cars/trucks I had when I was a teen, some 27+ years ago.

That's kind of funny Rob... me too!
A car/truck has never left my yard without me striping it till there was no usable part left on it! :thumb:

Same here. That is why now I have eight 5 gallon buckets full of chevy bolts and nuts.

I have almost thrown it away so many times as I hate using rusty or old bolts. I will just buy new stuff always. But I know if I do, the very next day I'll need something out of it so I don't dare toss it.

I am in the process of cleaning mine.
First a thorough wash with some tumbling to remove most of the rust.
Then a quick wash with some acid. Then rinse to remove the acid and douse with oil/diesel mix.
That should make them good for a while.;)

What does the acid do to help clean? What type of acid? Muriatic acid?
