Any welders in the Tulsa area? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I posted this in the "suspension" section, but only got one response, so I thought I would try here since it is typically a 73-87 problem. I have the front shock mount problem that has wallowed out a hole in the frame and now the shock moves around and rattles. I know this is common so I searched the forum for solutions and I know this can be welded if done correctly. I don't own a welder or have access to one (not that I could use it properly if I did) so I called some local muffler shops and no one seemed interested in helping me out. Is there anyone around here that can do this? . I just want to get this done. It's driving me crazy!

Through the years, I've had many welding jobs done at Accurate Welding, just off 11th in Tulsa. If you can drive it there, they can usually fit it in. The earlier you go in, the better the odds.

I've had them come to the house more than once when I couldn't drive it there. I had a rear subframe mount fixed that I wasn't sure if it could be fixed. Of course, if they come to the house it'll cost more. I think they're only there during the week, though.

Thanks for the tip. It's drivable, so getting it there isn't a problem. I'll give them a call. Thanks again for your help.
