Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..

not much to report lately...just trying to get all the bed welding done so I can get it to the blaster and then in epoxy primer...
keep on finding broken spot welds...this crossmember was only held by 5 spot welds...the rest were broke loose...also had to fix some of the po's mess in bed floor...whatever they had bolted in the bed caused stress cracks in the bed floor and is probably responsible for the broken spotwelds...its just easier to remove and try to fix it right...also cut out a section of bed floor to fix the stress cracks...the bed floor will be line-x so it'll cover a lot of my fixings....
