    Post some pics. Metal work is one of the things I am having the most fun with. Probably because when its done its the immediate satisfaction. I throw in some metal work between each major project just for fun. Here are some frame work photos. Just filling in some Swiss cheese on the frame rail.100_2788.jpg100_2789.jpgFilled in holes.jpg

    I was looking for your photos but had no luck finding them. Did you post them in the photo gallery in this forum?

    JS2.jpgJS1.jpgJS3.jpgJS4.jpgJS5.jpg Found them. Hope you dont mind me posting them in this thread. Truck looks pretty good from what I can see. I see what you are talking about on the floor boards. Do you have access to a welder. If so I think I would replace the whole floor board. Its a pretty cool little truck.

    Sounds like a good plan. Its doesnt really serve any purpose to replace to whole thing if you dont need to. Double fisting the welders is a unique talent. I have a hard enough time remembering to put my mask on let alone handling two of those things.

    Lol, I think everyone who has ever worked on a vehicle has some sort of fire story. I remember a buddy of mine who was checking for spark on a spark plug. He pulled the plug out and without realizing it held it over the plug port and had me turn it over. Well the spark plug HAD spark, gas came shooting out the port as it should and my bud wound up having to grow some eyebrows back. After I got done laughing I put his eye brows out and we went back to work. Needless to say we havent made that mistake again.
