Finally cracked my frame by gearbox on my 91 burb and bought the weld on frame repair just need to get it welded. Does anyone know of a place or someone who can do it for a reasonable price all places in Los Angeles or around ive called places and all want to much. I can do pretty much everything except weld dammit. Thanks
 
I can do it for you. I'm just outside of town.:D

Sorry no help but a bump to the top for you. Might try this in the regional section.
 
I'd be happy to do it. You can ask K85 Octane if he was happy with his, as I did it a few weeks back. I'm in the Valley.
 
Hey mtnman210 I sold you a steering shaft a while back at a school in the valley. Pm me what you would charge id rather pay you than a rip off shop.
 
If you brought the truck to a welder and yanked the steering box off in the parking lot I couldnt possibly seeing the brace taking more than 20mins to weld on. Figure that most places charge an hour minimum and it should be $100-150.
 
There is more to it than just welding it on. If you already know how to set it, mold it, trim it and weld it...an hour or a bit less. If they have never done one, lots longer. Those things aren't "one size fits all". Loosely yes, correctly no.

I'd think you'd be better off taking it to a shop that does frame alignments that just any old welder. I had to do some pretty creative jigging to get my rail close to straight again when I snapped mine. I probably spent over an hour just trying to figure that part out. Definitely more work there than just laying the beads.
