Thanks for the advice, CASO. My husband is a journeyman carpenter by trade, so he is very good at measuring, cutting, and fitting. He also certified at welding, but that was quite a few years back (and was more stick welding). Me? Well, I'm studying, watching, diving in, and learning as I go.
We got the driver's side cab corner, rocker panel, and part of the floor pan cut out last night. Then we patched in the cab support. While I've been tending the store, my husband has fitted in the patch for the floor pan and the rear cab floor. Tomorrow we will finish welding that up, and continue working outward.
Things are progressing nicely. It's not the prettiest job of welding (for my part), but she's an old work truck not a show truck. Just working at getting her more solid and enclosed. lol
btw, welding is fun
