I have an old Lincoln Weldpak 100 amp mig welder that I have had for twenty years. I dont think they make this one anymore so if I was going to get the same type I would go with the Lincoln Weldpak 140. It plugs into regular 120 volt house socket and comes with everything to add the gas setup that you will need. I would suggest getting a unit that has at least two knobs, one for adjusting wire speed and the other to adjust temperature. Again I am no expert on welding I just do this as a hobby and this setup works for what I need it to do on these trucks.

Other items that I find helpful are the following:
-gas tank that is 75% argon 25% Carbon Dioxide
-Lincoln .025 Superarc wire - excellent for welding sheet metal on these trucks
-set of good quality Neodymium Disc Magnets - 1 1/2" to 2" excellent for hold metal where you want while welding
-set of panel clamps
-various vise grip clamps
-self tapping sheet metal screws for temporary holding a panel if needed
-set of wire snips to cut of wire to the proper length
-welding hood that is auto dim
-welding gloves
-weld through primer
-knotted wire wheel, flap disc, etc to clean up metal before welding
