Re: 50' GMC 5 window, my first build
unfortunately life has been getting in the way of my project, hence the lack of recent updates. But I've been picking away here and there, and finally have disassembly complete. It was a great sight to see the frame sitting next to my cab rather than underneath it....until I found a nice big crack under the drivers side cab mount. Fortunately, I've been reassured that this is repairable. I guess I'll be "lacing some joints" as big_moss was talking about earlier, once I save up for a welder that is. With Xmas around the corner it might be a minute before I can get the coin for a nice machine. I'm thinking of the Hobart 140 gas mig machine. Anyone have experience with this one? I want to be sure it'll be strong enough for everything on this projct before I bite the bullet.
While I'm saving for the welder, I'll be making a stand on casters for the cab to sit on. That way I can move it around the garage easily. Stay tuned.....
