Re: Questions for the welding pros
I agree with nsb...Robert or John would really be the ones to listen to...
I shortened a lwb bed into a swb in my IH build..I used the panel clamps as well on it..
But I've since found that butted panels with no gap are better...
Did you hammer and dolley your welds as you went?..
I used a combo of .023 and ,030 on mine ...I agree the .023 did a little better..trick is dont spend to much time making the tack..that helps create less haz..
Another tip would e use a copper backer...that helped prevent burnthru...
To have never welded you sure didnt pick the easiest thing to learn one..but looks like you did a good job..
