Re: What did you do to your truck today!

I did get a couple of things done or at least started last night. Boxed in the frame at the fuel filler point and started to build my adjustable panhard bar. Note on the panhard bar. If you are not TOTALLY confident in your fabricating/welding capabilities do not attempt this. Just imagine cruzing down the highway at 60mph and snap! I'll leave the rest to your imagination. Some will tell you that there is no stress on the panhard bar but it is what keeps everything centered over the rearend. Proceed with caution. I'll try to finish up tonight and post a complete list of pics so you can see how I did this.
Have a good day all.
PS I am just a goober in his garage that likes to mess with old cars/trucks. I have been fabing/welding on something or another for 20+ years. I've made my share of mistakes. I did not attempt to do any structural (frame or other) modifications until I was able to confidently control heat and penetration with my welding. I have never been certified but I have tested many of my welds and also cut cross sections to examine. For me...I trust my work, for me. Cheers.
