Thanks for that bit of knowledge. That's pretty handy info. My truck is as low as I want it to go. So hopefully the trans oil pan shouldn't be an issue. Though the floor pan may present itself as a bit of a challenge. If it does though, I guess my first ever welding experiece with the mig machine I bought a week ago is going to be my first project. Gotta start somewhere huh. Might as well be on a square.
