Re: A '62 has to get back on the road

Removed the '62 front axle, it was still welded to the frame, why? The truck probably had a bad accident and the frame was cut open, straightened and welded again. I reopened the crack, the metal was a good 3mm on top of each other, with a 20t hydraulic ram, I drilled and welded holes in the crack, ground the crack into a V shape and step welded it, for stability, another plate was placed behind it and spot welded, that should hold
