What your geting rid of top custom buckets on non rust 2x4s? I wonder where
they got the name bucket seats? Like maybe in the days of old if the seat
went to scrap (thinking of another word) they threw a couple of buckets on
the floor to sit on. Hummm, I wonder...

Have you checked our sponsor? There's always J.C.Whitney! There was an
article in a truck mag on restoring seats and had the name of a supplier,
I'll see if I can find it!
Did you find out anything on the bumper?

Subject: Welding and fabrications

Questions:

1. What's the heaviest material you can weld with one of those SP100
Lincoln wire feed welders? Can you safely do frame welding with it?
Or just sheetmetal type repairs? What size equipment do you need to
safely do chassis/frame welding?

2. Does anyone out there fabricate their own brackets etc? What
thickness of steel etc do you use for brackets? Is a metal brake
> essential for this type of operation? What about cutting the metal to
size...Inquiring minds want to know...Any other considerations? I
realize this is pretty general but maybe you could give a sample of
something you've fabricated (and I do mean truck related, not women
related or anything else :)


Thanks,
Don

Those Edelbrock heads sound nice. My 1974 F100 XLT Ranger was somewhat
of a Christmas present to my son who needed transportation for school
and work. I paid $1500 for it (from a guy in Rowlett). Turns out it....
