Re: Welding in a bed floor?
A word to the wise, so listen up. Be EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS WHEN WELDING\TORCH CUTTING ANY METAL THAT IS GALVANIZED!!!! The coating is zink and our bodies use this heavy metal BUT, the yellow\blue smoke given off when burning or welding is DEADLY!! It causes all sorts of pulminary problems and is known for sure to cause cancer in humans. If you have to cut, use a sawsall or some other type of cutter. If you weld, grind the stuff off. It's clearly visible when it's gone. ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS wear a GOOD respirator whenever you work with any galvanized product. jim

Little stuff left to do is mount winch, wet sand & buff out and build belly pan\running boards. Body work takes lots and LOTS of beer!!!! God, Guts and Guns made America and God, Guts and Guns will preserve it! The worst thing you could do is get into my sights, but that don't matter, you'll never know it, cause you'll never hear the shot  Jim or Paladin whichever you choose.
