Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
most bodyshops here use mig welders , there special sort of migwelder though they bring less heat intoo the material and use a different wire think it has some tin in it , the current superthin sheetmetal and special aloys require use those types of welders
tig welding is wonderful but the metal needs to be verry clean to be able to lay a nice weld and repairing a run off the mill pre 80's rustbucket with a tigwelder......... i'm afraid it brings you more pain than gain . havent seen the state of youre truck when you had done the metalwork and before it went to paint but i might rather first grind out the filler pull out dents and work on my planischingskills before taking good metal out with a grinder and tigweld it its good practice and when it doesnt work you can allways grab the grinder and take the darn piece out |
Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
We use a tig & planishing hammer so we don't have to grind hardly anything, & we don't have to use any plastic fillers like most bodyshops do! Almost all the premier shops out there do it this way.

SBTork, I got the decal from the woodward dreamcruise in Detroit. Gm was handing them out left and right at their boths. This last cruise (2008), they did not hand them out. I got one 2006 and 2007.

All right I'll try to post a couple of more pics.
Smokedog, I believe you a right, as far as a I can remember those are Stealth rims 20x8.5. They are a couple of years old now so I had a difficult time finding one more for a spare, but I did in the end. Hopefully one day there will be rear discs shining through! |
