Made this small electric panel for the back. It has 110v power for my grinders and quick connects wired to the welding power. I really like the look of solid rivets and hope to find more places to use them on the truck.
Bent this 2 inch sch 40 pipe to start building off of. Connected with 1 1/2" tubing. I'm trying to make this so the things that attach to the tubing are bolt on so some day I can ditch the work gear and retool for fun. Along the bottom tubes are 2" x 1/8" flat bar so that I can drill holes for...

now it is lifted on bags.
I am curious about a Montana Montana LLC. It would be great if you could share what you know. Just got another truck and would like to explore that option. Welcome
If anyone knows the angle the c-pillar leans forward, please post it. I am ready to weld now and will just go with what looks good and doesn't interfere with removing the welder if I can't find the correct angle soon.
*edit* I decided to match the angle of the welder. Its not as steep as...
