I know the type of rig.. correct me if I’m wrong.. 350, TH400 trans, NPG-205 transfer box and GM-12″ rear end / Dana-44 front axle.
Where I grew up, we called it a Mormon Assault Vehicle lol
I was in college and we tried online versions of automotive classes but it was kinda counterproductive as we were just reading about stuff and limited guidance from the instructor. You can learn the basics from reading but half the battle is getting dirty and learning the how to process. Good luck with your training.
My impact gun is an IR231C $130 from a catalog, good durable tool for the money. Most compressors are made by Campbell Hausfeld under many names. I am an Amsoil dealer and I recommend using their compressor oil, it runs cooler and lasts longer than regular ND motor oil.
Most tools are rated at 4 cfm and that is conservative, impact guns will consume 12-20 cfm under load, die grinders, sanders and a few tools will run your compressor to death. This is why I suggest the synthetic oil in your compressor.
Keep your tools well oiled or they will be trash before long. I tried the lucas air tool oil and I think its good stuff, I used to use the napa brand and I had good results.
20 gal air tank will do a lot of work, I use my pancake compressor for occasional jobs at home, but it fits in the closet or the trunk of a car haha
