Nice meeting you Heath. If your ever back in the area, and want to do some BS'n or in need any other parts for your truck, feel free to stop by.
We have a couple new guys at work (few months now) One has a CJ-7, the other an old Land Cruiser. Both lifted and on 35" tires. I do like the Jeep though. They do a lot of talking, about how big & bad the vehicles are. So, I drove my Deuce into work on Friday for a change..... and think I...
If it's a 135 amp welder, it should be ok. Does it come with gas pressure gauges? That's the big end (amps) for a welder that's uses 110 volts. Buy it and try it out for a bit. If you don't like it you can always relist it back on craigslist.
Another thing to consider also. For MIG welding, you can use straight Co2 (100% carbon dioxide) as a shielding gas, instead of a 75/25 mix (75% Argon - 25% carbon dioxide) There is a huge difference in price, to fill up a bottle between the two gases. Co2, being extremely cheaper. That's all I...
Your looking for a small, hobby/beginner type welder. My advice is get one with shielded gas vs. flux wire, and do not buy a welder rated under 120 amps...
Looks like you got a bit of work ahead of ya. To be honest, I clicked your thread, because I thought it was a for sale post from the title of the thread "Deuce Front Fenders, Boots and Turbo"...my bad, carry on. lol
I like that you not just throwing it together. Although your route is time consuming and takes much longer, the end result will be a very nice and clean looking truck. Good job....
I don't drive it as much as I should. I have 12 to 14 cars/trucks and motorcycles that I jump back and forth in. No order, rhyme or reason, just what I get in that day. So individually, not a ton of miles on any particular vehicle. The Deuce could get driven ten times in a month, or not at all...
Big difference between a brand new diesel pick up and a 40 year old modified military truck. For the kind of money that your looking to spend, you could get a nice low mileage custom Deuce with winch, that's already been bobbed, lifted and rolling on 53" tires, like the one over to the left <<<<<
I didn't buy it, so it should still be there. Never realy had it up for sale officially, he offered it to me because I have military trucks and I inquired about it sitting in the barn while I was there. Just one of them things that came up in conversation. I'm sure he "would have" sold it to...
