Ah picking a 240/120 volt welder.. Not a bad idea as if you are doing frame welding its best to have 240 as an option. Yup my build thread is full of frame repairs. All those repairs were done on Jack stands. I am hoping to move to
to a lift (its on my wish list) to do my repairs on. I have shown several ways to do the repairs on the entire frame of this vehicles.
From what I have Observed, Its best to plate the inside of your frame. You want to keep all the geometry in tact and its best to get rid of all rotted steel and yet seal it up.. My thought is that if you can seal up the from holes while repairing and coat the inside. How can garbage get into the frame including salt water. Once sealed up and heavily coated rust inhibitors. I don't see how the frame rot out. Paint is only an indicator of how the steel is doing. These boxed frames rot from the inside out. Thus Why I do my repairs this way.. :-)
