Re: Cab corners
Butt weld:
The BEST way to do it.
Overlap weld:
The "bestest" way to do it, if done properly.
The old story on it being a breeding ground for rust, I am sorry, it hit me one day EVERY CAR MADE from the mid thirties, EVERY SINGLE CAR IN THE WORLD is TOTALLY constructed with "lap" welds, The ENTIRE BODY on EVERY CAR!
These trucks, the ENTIRE thing is made of lap welds, what's one more going to hurt?
As long as it's done properly, and sealed properly, it will never be an issue.
There are places where they shouldn't be used, like across a huge panel. But on these corners, it's pretty straight forward.
