Re: Project: Recycle
The inner frame is also plated w/plug & perimeter welds. I plotted the plug welds to be staggered as well as each of the plates so I wouldn't be welding directly on metal that was already heat worked (I figured too much heat concentration is just as bad as not enough)....

Re: Project: Recycle
I started making the inner boxing plate trying to keep the gaps as consistent as possible. One thing I didn't like was putting the plate against the frame 'as is' would not allow it to be square. I wanted the boxing plate in square, so that required trimming the bottom lip of the frame rail slightly.
I also had to figure a way to do the bed mounts. I considered welding them in place but ultimately decided to weld some nuts in place under the frame....
