Posted: Mon Jul 22, 2013 10:22 pm
Added 4' behind the cab and added 8' to the back I always half lap when I stretch a truck
I bevel all seams in frame and in the half lap . I try to build in way that only the guys at the scrapyard will know its been stretched . All welds are ground down or hidden on the inside of the frame with a crossmember . I still struggle trying to make a nice vertical up with the mig but there's aways 7018 they always have to much crown or under cut on the edges . Should I even be trying ? I have a friend in a shop that all vertical up work is done flux core .
