Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

With the tray in place, I started to weld in the first of the compressor mounts. I was having some minor issues with the MIG, so I stopped at about the halfway mark on the first mount. Lucky for me I did so. I'd revised the location of the mount without double checking for interference. When I set one of the compressors on it, BANG! I realized it wouldn't clear the cross sill.

So this morning I zipped the mount off the frame with a thin kerf cutting disc and went back with the mount like I'd originally planned. All is well now. Next up will be running air lines and wiring.
