    Welding tips on front Body mount bracket

    Thanks! Welding into the thick and pushing it to the thin really helped on the blow though, and the door closes now! The door sagged about an eight of an inch after I took the jack off, but it works!

    Welding tips on front Body mount bracket

    Thanks! I am mig welding. I like that idea of welding around the circle of the thick stuff and having it push onto the thinner stuff.

    Welding tips on front Body mount bracket

    I am about to weld in both of my front body mount brackets in my 1991 dodge ram w150. Do you guys know any tips and tricks to make the job go easier? Should I be worried that when plug welding the thicker bracket to the thinner inner rocker my welder will blow a hole though the inner rocker...

    Driver door and body mount alignment

    What should I look out for and what should I pay attention to when welding up a new drivers side front body mount bracket? l am most cautious of the door being able to close and not leak water. I've been doing rust repair for my old W150 1991 dodge ram. I've taken out both of her front body...

    Wheel Hub interchangeability

    Will any 5-lug first gen wheel hub fit on any first gen trucks? Is the only option for wheel hubs to buy them used, in junkyards? I have a 1991 W150 Dodge ram, with a spun bearing.

    Sheet Metal Gauge for body panels

    Anyone know the sheet metal gauge for things like the floor pan, rocker panel and rear wheel wheels? I'm trying to get the right setting on my welder with some scrap, but I'm not sure what its supposed to be. Seems to be around 18-20 gauge

    Exhaust fell off

    Hey guys my muffler rusted fell off and it's time for a new exhaust system. Where so you guys to go purchase exhaust systems? Do you usually buy the whole system or just buy each part separately and weld them together? Dual pipes or just one? I'm thinking something just as loud as stock, or...

    Best Carpet?

    About to weld up the floorplan and then replace the carpet on my 1991 Dodge ram W150 Where do you guys try to get carpets from? I dont mind spending a bit more if it's a really good carpet. So far I hear Auto Custom carpet does good but their carpet is about six inches short in the rear. Is...

    Best wire size and brand for welding our rusted body panels

    Thanks Reek Space isn't really an issue. I think I'll go with a 30ish gallon 110 volt that's somewhat portable and then I'll do the upgrade later on. That's funny how every compressor still gets use! Probably this kobalt right here...

    Best wire size and brand for welding our rusted body panels

Will tryout that Seam sealer at autozone! Thanks for the tip about needing different size nozzles for primer vs epoxy and normal paint! It...

    Best wire size and brand for welding our rusted body panels

    Thanks guys. Also I can only wish my welds will look as good as that! What kindof wire you using there? So .023 and .025 basically are the same thing, and I should look for a mom and pop welder place and get some L-56 there. I do have gas I believe its something called C25. It's too bad I...
