yeah......what he said....................... i had a cousin whos a sheet
metal worker make me some new sides up for my box sides and my box front....he
did a great job and they match exactly.....ok maybe not exactly...i have one
problem that i hope to maybe get it rectified really soon. all this welding
talk has got my rod a bit stiff.... any ways hopefully the wife and i can solve
that problem later....the problem i run into is his shop could not bend the side
of the metal into the tube that runs the length of the box sides.... i was
hoping to by some pipe and weld it to the sides.....so what are my chances of it
working....need some ideas...my main worry is expansion and contraction....but i
guess proper welding techniques will solve that....any help out there????
Thanks
