Dang, good find. I will have to check my sled now and see if I come up with the matching air impact wrench.
BTW - nice truck in your avatar.

Yer dealer's tech is missing a socket... Musta jumped off his impact after tightening a ski.

My dad found a nice Snap-on screwdriver under the hood of a GM that had been to the shop. They couldn't figure out the issue so he didn't go back.
Funny, i was working at Boeing in Renton Washington a few years back and i heard that a mechanics wrench was found in the vertical tail section of a brand new plane and how it was found was when periodic maintenance was being performed.

Thanks Jonce, it eats all my money and spare time.
That should NEVER happen! Tool inventories are required after every shift change at a minumum.
Hey SS you should call the dealership to see if a mechanic is missing that socket. If you do find the rightfull owner that would be worth way more than that socket is worth in the long run, not to mention its the right thing to do. I know the feeling of loosing or misplacing tools at work it SUCKS. Good thing you found it that would suck to have that get up in your clutches or something.
I am pretty sure they would deny that it was theirs as they don't make mistakes you know. If that had gone through my clutches later, I would have sure been wondering where the hell the socket came from as I don't use westward tools. Make sure you look over a new sled very well. I found this by standing on the sled and testing out my air shocks.
its mine, if you'd send it to me i'd surely appreciate it
Wow...that is a good find
I worked at a detail shop in high school and we'd get the cars after the mechanics had them. Found a LOT of tools, the best was an impact gun, snap on!

i found a socket attatched to a rusty swaybar link bolt. but hey since im a young mechanic i know what its like too lose stuff. you could go on lunch an come back with the vehicle gone home already and relize you left a peice outa a set in it and cant ever get it again. Its a pain in the *** too buy some individual peices
Awesome job on the bodywork and paint. My struggle right now is finding a good bodyshop to do mine, and I keep changing my mind on the colors.It will be nice to see when done. Its going to be a sick ride when your done. heres one to get you worked up.

I just wish I could get paid enough to justify doing jobs like this. This was for a friend and I lost my azz. chalked it up to advertising. I pretty much re-fabbed the entire truck to make things fit and hold up. Good luck on finding a shop, the others around here don't do the ground work that really makes them last. I had 4 1/2 months in it, it has a 2 stage base coat (planet color) looks good but pain in the arse.
