Re: Project: Recycle
A little progress tonight on the pass side truss.
I started welding the inside of the new 'truss' to the top of the original frame. I welded the areas where the reinforcement gussets were going first, then put the gussets in place to help keep the truss as square as possible w/the frame rail once the heat is applied. With the gussets in place (& a couple of bolts/nuts for the extreme corners), I welded the remainder of the inside. I started prepping the outer edge but it was getting late so I decided to let things cool down & will try again this weekend. There will be two additional gussets added where the 60° transition pieces will be from the top of the truss to the top of the OE framerail....
