The Miller I have now runs really smooth. I have put my cab away for the time being, winter. I have recently purchased a tig machine and trying my hand at that. So far it’s quite challenging.

Cool. That will be my next welder. Good luck with the tig welding, I’ve heard great things about the Everlast Brand Tig Welders, they are fairly priced too.

I' doing a complete floor replacement on my 68 short box over the Christmas holidays. Do both the high hump and the low hump floors have the same 3/8" issue with the inner rocker panels or is it just with the high hump stamps?? I have a high hump in my truck but plan on picking up a low hump this weekend since that is what they have in stock?

No just the high hump. I have some videos and details on my project build and youtube channel linked below.

It will be great money spent, I love welding and the Miller machine has always been great to use. My tig welder is an AHP alphatig 201xd. So far, it has been great, but Tig welding is new to me...so taking the time to get the fundamentals nailed down.

Tig will be my project after I finish the truck.... My left hand is not very coordinated

Haha, heard that. I have found it hard to use either hand holding the torch to start out. But, after practicing and practicing my left hand feels more natural to hold the torch and my right hand to feed the filler rod. There are a ton of consumables for a tig torch as well, and different torch sizes. I am very green at it, but am enjoying the challenge. I bet you will like it as well. I’m ready for warmer weather so I can paint again.

I appreciate all of the info on a cab floor replacement. I got my cab in the air last weekend and got the floor removed without any issues. I need to prep the flanges this week and hopefully install the new floor in the next week or so
