Re: It's my turn, 47 S10 build
Finally got some time to get the rest of the chassis braces in before winter set in. I could have done it in the garage but I was getting tired of re leveling it on Jack stands. Both sides are in and tacked solid enough they aren't going to break loose. I waited to weld them for two reasons. First, I wasn't sure if they would work in their current place with the brake pedal mount. And second after trying to get twisted around under there to weld it I decided screw that. At whatever point I am ready to break it down for paint I'll strip the frame, sand blast where I need to weld if there's any surface rust and weld it in the open with no cab engine or transmission. The front cab mount welds especially look pretty sketchy in the pictures. They were tack welded on a couple years ago with my crap-tastic flux welder. And then earlier this year I retacked them with my new welder just to make sure they didn't break off.
