Anyone have a big shop in or around calgary?

Wondering if anyone has a big shop or tall garage in or around calgary. I need to change the pushrods in my F350 next weekend and I would like to find some shelter for it. Will take me probably about a day (6-8 hours) to do the work. My truck is huge and won't fit in my own heated garage. Looking for someone kind enough to share some space, or I can compensate them.

Thanks.

I got a 6" Lift, currently worn 35's going to go at least 37's in the spring. 4" Turboback (with muffler), AFE intake and a chip. Makes a little over 400whp. I did the headgaskets and studs 2 weeks ago but bent two or more of the push rods. Its pretty common to do that because of the way you have to install the valve train.

I was thinking of offset rims and fender flares, but I kinda like it the way it is for the moment. Also contemplating an ARB bumper, or if I want to put another chrome one on it. I dented mine pretty good awhile back.

Gangster. Mine has almost 300,000kms and still has the head bolts, no issue. I have a Looney Tune from Quicktricks, custom tuning for the 6.0 is the way to go. I still need to make an exhaust and intake but its quite the beast as is.

There was no problem with my headgaskets either. Until I took the heads off and there it was, plain as day, all the little spots it was leaking past. My EGR had a hole in it, so once I got the intake off, I was like, ah what the heck I'll do it all. I got my SCT tuner from Diesel Innovations in Maryland. They are one of the best 6.0L tuners in the world. They gave me 3 custom tunes. My fourth one will be ordered when I fix it up. It maxes out the 6.0 with stock injectors and turbo.

I'd like to take my stock turbo and put it on my FC, no Im not kidding. And go with a stage one which should give me capability for 150 more wheel HP with proper injectors.

My truck just cracked 100,000kms. I bought it at 70k.
