I searched but couldn't find anything about this, maybe I just missed it...
Anyway, brought home a '67 Duece from GL with a big crack at the diagonal brace plate thingy at the rear bottom of the driver's door opening, the door won't latch and there's a crack at the corner of the door opening as well... Someone's obviously done some very weedy welding on this before but it rebroke along the weld.
Before I weld it up correctly is there maybe something else going on here that caused the problem in the first place and then the re-break of the crappy weld? There are some big U-bolts hanging loose on the back on the cab, maybe something was mounted on top since it's a soft top w/ no vinyl? Just weld 'er up and add a reinforcement plate? Is this a common deal?
Thanks for all info.
