I am getting frustrated. I am getting reminded of why I don't like bodywork. When I bought this truck, I was looking for something I could work on, but more engine than body. I am having issues mounting the cab support. I can't figure out the best way to weld it to the frame and floor pan. I'll do a search on the forum for tips, and hopefully that will help.

I have a spot welder, but I can't fit it in the space needed to be of much help. My welding skills are not totally there yet, so when I tried welding the edges, that did not go so well as you will see in the pics I attached. I posted before and after pics.

I was having a lot of trouble getting the support to attach to the frame. It kept coming loose after I release the clamp. I finally remembered what Dan told me about spot welding with a MIG welder and cranked up the heat, which seemed to work (even though this was not a spot weld, the idea worked).

Is this a suitable way of attaching the support or am I going to have issues?

Is anyone still reading this thread?
