She's been good to me over the years. Dad bought it when I was in high school, but he hated it. I ended up with a brand new mig.

Looks great, i like it.
I tried to fill in the blanks from the other side. If I need to explain some weird thing I did, let me know
Awesome job dude. I'd be all over it, looks strong and won't draw the eye as much when painted, but my short ass needs a step.. lol
I like that they are flush.
Been pondering that about the steps. I have a few ideas on that, let me think them through a bit
If you make some awesome steps, I'm gonna steal the idea... Just forewarning. Getting rid of those chrome tubes on mine are on the list.
Not sure if I'm going with steps. But if I did they might go like this:
Using either 1x 1.5" square tube out 2x 1" round, you could sink either flush into the slider with about 6" hiding behind the rocker, and brace it someplace. Then you could slide a step in or out, complete with whatever drop works well for you to get in

You did a perfect job, I think the welding would be the hardest part to mess to.
And also tends to swing under the truck at the most inopportune times known to man.
Looks great. That kind of welding is fun. Just let that thin metal suck that heat and weld right into it. Just fun
I have been thinking about something similar for my '90 since it a rust that could get removed too.
I figured that the steps could be removed for wheeling, or have even make a set that have no drop for offroad.
But all of this assumes that you meant square tube, not share time!
Swear I'm gonna kill the guy who invented auto correct. If he's dead, I'm gonna dig him up and kill him again.
On a dual tank set up like mine, you can't sink the receiver in very deep. But even 3" braced will work.

This is less conspicuous
