Re: 1952 Pickup Street Rod project
not sure on the half ton frame thickness but mine was a 3/4 ton when it started life. that's why I used the 3/16 to match. it was also a Canadian model so maybe a little thicker for temp variances or something. who knows.
there are a few ways to weld in the plates so thought I would chime in and also mention the heat warpage considerations.
I have found the course flap discs make short work of smoothing the edges of the welds on the boxing plates. just don't go crazy and grind the whole weld off except for a thin skin.
