I really like the looks of that trunk too...

BTW... what kind of welder do you have?
Thanks! We had a Thanksgiving dinner party and bonfire Sat. Trunk worked out great. I use the Hobart Handler 140 MIG. It's a great machine.

I just looked at that unit this past weekend. Might have to talk "turkey" the next time I'm down that way. Do you use gas or flux?

Nate: Why do you need a welder when you have such a pretty truck? Do you have another project going? I should have my miller 135 in the next week or so. I am pretty excited to learn.

Get that truck cut apart so next time I'm in KC I can give you a few pointers on rockers/floor replacements!

I use gas and honestly flux is a waste of time.(crappy AND ugly welds) Much better in my opinion to spend the extra money and go with 75/25 gas right from the start.

Eh... I might have a few things up my sleeve.

BTW... are you buying your Miller new? If so, what kind of rate should I expect to pay for one? I've had Miller's highly recommended, but I figured with name I would pay a much higher price.

Thanks Kyle, that's what I've been told as well.

thats one of the main reasons i don't like using my truck as a DD cause its a long bed. My next build will prob. be a shortbed (easier to park) with a modern drive train & some modern touches to use as a true DD.

Re: Parallel Double Park It Sideways

Well that's only 1' longer than the 'Scayne. What needs welded, does it have rust?

Thank You!

Re: Parallel Double Park It Sideways

Wow, haven't seen this thread in a while -- you've made awesome progress. Looks great. Are you gonna run the S10 wheels long-term? With some center caps they'd be a cool alternative to vette rallies.

Not looking for any other wheels. I'd like to find some chrome centers and use the extra silver from the roof on them.
