clarification- didnt mean this fellow in particular......the general statement - was what I was referring to I cant believe what people will pay for old - sight unseen trucks that have statements like "unknown running condition" attached to them I was hot on that 1994 Ford FT900 at Dayton...

I dont believe the "no money" claim....when you see what the GL auction trucks bring - there is money out there.

why does the tire need to be standing up - at an angle yet?.....looks like you could bust a nut lifting a tire up on that thing how about just laying the tire flat in the piece with the ratchet strap holding it - and use whatever you were gonna weld to your design to hold it down....low center...

depending on how much $$$ you can spend - the above options are simple and cheap......if you want a nice option that costs some money - contact an industrial fiberglass company....here in Buffalo,ny we have a company that fabricates industrial fiberglass ducts , fiberglass tanks and lines old...

"I am no expert, never taken a welding class in my life. But asking for tips on how to do something in no way indicates a person does not have the skill or knowledge required to perform said repair." My apologies sir - certainly didnt intend any negative Karma .......I still think a repair...

having to ask how to do it - indicates that you probably dont have the skills required to salvage that tank.....the pro would cut out the dented section with either a plasma or abrasive cut off wheels and weld in new steel - formed to match the tank...probably tig weld it.....with the small tig...

theyre call riv-nuts and can be seen at this site ----http://www.enfasco.com/frame4.htm the drilling - or gingerly grinding is what a body shop would do being a beginner - Im thinking you might want to have a pro weld those holes-----no sense making golf ball sized holes with a welder -if...

I actually have a 1ton pickup that we use to pull a three car trailer (it routinely pulls more than the deuce plus the weight of the trailer), but I have to figure out a tow bar that would work since the 1ton only has a 5th wheel hitch. Again though the RV storage yard is a great idea, would...

"I was never fond of them when I had to drive them in the Army but at such low prices I might be tempted to try one out. I still have a CDL so I am covered for that issue. " Wreckerman893 curious WHY you were not fond of them - when they appear to be so much more refined than the beloved old...

well CJ....we WERE talkin about a 1988 chevy truck cab - but I guess now that you've hi jacked the thread - Ill just say ..NICE JOB ! and leave it alone

if this was a irreplaceable classic one might go to the ends of the earth to save it - but its just an old truck - find a nice cab ....maybe one with a/c and move on with something better thsn it was new unless youre an experienced body man -- with lots of time...that truck cab will NEVER be right
