Re: 58 3100 cab rebuild

Next is the weld up. Make sure you bevel the mating edges. This way you can grind smooth the weld and still have good strength in the joint. After beveling you need to do the final fitting and clamp up. You'll need some small clamps and a spacer of some sorts. I used some machining wedges.

Run the bead on the outer edge and don't weld the inner side. Clean up the welds and finish the edges and your done. I also use Bloxide weldable primer to coat them.
