gear oil can be thinned out with gasoline. ATF is fine.

Hmm... largely motor oil, and most importantly NO water?

my buckets are also a hodge-podge, and need both filtering and water separation

Adding gas seems annoying and counterproductive to cost saving efforts. I'm hoping in smaller concentrations gear oil will be OK. Plan to stick to this in the warmer months anyway.

Fuck it, I'll take whatever you have. If I decide not to use it, the dump 5 minutes from my house has a waste oil and coolant receptacle I can dispose of it in.

Really trying to avoid having to separate water unless I can feel condifent about gravity being OK at doing that.

Plan is to follow Nick's setup with the sock filters, probably 10, 5, 1 micron filters on top of each other (to avoid immediately clogging the 1 micron filters) into a 55 gallon drum. Two spouts on the drum, one at the very bottom for sludge drainage to go to dump receptacle and one 8" or so up from the bottom for good oil collecting.

i have been trying to take care of storing clean oil for you guys.  i have a ton of "needs filtering and water separation" under my deck- probably 60 gallons.  but i have about 15 gallons at the shop that is clean.  i also have about 10 galls a month that gets dumped from the lift drain.

I have a good friend whose family owns 2 popular restaurant chains in WNY...

I can inquire about their grease removal... but I assume it would need to be a semi prof operation.. not just a guy with a bucket and hose..
I never wanted a red car.. always thought they were tacky and common...
I now have 4 very not common cars and they are all red.. :o

Right, and that is a lot of the reason I am steering away from veg right now. I know I would need to make regularly scheduled pick ups regardless of how much I needed. I have no place to put overflow, and used motor oil is easier to procure/use at my own pace.

Steel brake lines and frayed passenger caliper hose done. Fuel lines had been replaced with poly and spliced into the steel lines on the last couple inches, did not look good. Replaced them. Oil leak is down to a 2" puddle overnight.

I'm going to drive it around all weekend. Barring any issues, I'm calling it Big Dogs ready.

Bed is probably not worth salvaging - rot over both wheel wells and starting on underside. Also huge dent/tear on passenger side rear and tailgate is F'd. Works for now, but will be keeping my eye out for a complete, color matched one in good shape.

Rocker panel seams are getting crusty. I will inspect further, but the "hit it with your fist" test did not indicate the panels were too bad inside. Considering patching the the seam in a couple spots and doing bedliner, maybe gray (not a huge fan of the black/white look I've seen like that on these.) Floors need to be patched from the frame out on both sides, otherwise OK.

I have a passable tailgate for you. latch needs help on one side and it's a little bent but it's highly servicable.

Sweet, how much? Even if I go with another bed, not have to ratchet strap the tailgate closed would be really nice. Thanks.

Drove all weekend, no issues. Steering still feels a little loose, checked it and the new trackbar bushing seems to squish maybe 1/4" back and forth, but that was the only visible play. Meh.
