Soft top ordered along with a 4” shackle flip from ORD. Decided to go with shackle flip instead of new rear springs.

Now I need a new hood and truck tailgate…
Lol here’s some more choice welds I’ll have to snap a pic of the tow hitch too. I can’t believe this guy towed a tritoon for years with it lol
Yeah that’s getting redone
Sway bar bushings, both axles ubolts and door hinge pin kit on its way. @Wes Harden know anyone with a truck tailgate?
No but I'll keep you in mind if I run across one. Maybe make a run out to pile of cars, where you got the windshield ? If you do let me know I would like to tag along.
I don’t think there was much of anything with straight metal on it. Them boys are known to take breaks and hit golf balls at the vehicles. Haha
bummer
Thinking about buying just a new repop. Found one online for about $150 + shipping.
150 might not to bad if the quality is there
Chevrolet Chevy C10 Squarebody Tailgate - auto parts - by owner -...
73-76 style Chevy C10 Tailgate. Has some minor rust but overall pretty solid. Includes a near perfect trim piece. Tailgate or trim separately $100, $175 for both.

Can you say “flux core”….
Flux core isn’t bad if you can weld to begin with
And works great in a windy area. A car battery with a couple leads would put more heat into the metal than this crap.
I was going to bust out my grinder and clean it up but I think I’m going to wait until I get my oxy/ace filled and melt it off.
Not my finest hour but it’ll do. I just burnt through what was there as I didn’t want to grind it and or burn it off. I’ll just replace that center 1 3/4 x 2.5 square tube down the road.
I can’t believe dude towed a giant boat with this without any triangulary support. It’s a miracle he didn’t kill someone.
That’ll probably work. Just for safe measure I’ll probably post the original weld pictures on the FB shaming page
Please do and share the funniest comments lol
Question: what are your opinions on Inboard shocks?
either way I need to fab up something for the shocks. That plate on the side of the frame isn’t going to cut it.

I don’t like inboarded shocks on a truck that would be on the highway. I would fix the stock setup.
