Re: Previous owner '68

I had noticed that the front panel seemed to stick up higher than the bedsides and when I took it off I found that the welded in nut pieces were welded in about a 1/4" off-center. At least they were consistently wrong on both sides.

Took a spot-weld cutter and cut the spot-weld on the threaded plate and then rewelded it in the correct position.

I know, it's bowed, I'll get to that later.
