Old Welding Rig, you are killing me with this stuff. So cool, just the way you worked it out. 3 cheers from Mt. Pickett!

It was really nice to meet Dave in person, who is a great guy by the way, as I don't get to meet many folks from this forum. We spent about an hour visiting and I got to show him my little treasures.
These are older pictures of my 56 F350 dually, my 53 M350 and my 56 M100. A few years ago I had the 56 M100 all back together and driving after sandblasting the entire truck and painting the frame, now it`s in the final body and paint prep stage which is going very slowly

We need more pics!
It actually was on a 67ish chev 1 ton.It was to wide so we cut 10 inches out of it.I also moved the wheel wells,although a little rough right now.I finish it up in the spring when its warm.

Got lucky again.Picked up this one ton Friday. The most rust free I have found with 48000 miles on the odometer and (I still can't believe this) the owners manual dealer warranty and battery warranty still in the bag in glove box.

Both trucks seem to be in decent shape, but the welding rig has got to be a special find for you indeed, congratulations on these additions to you collection. I couldn't help but notice the beautiful country side, very pretty this time of year.
