Showing the proper way (in my opinion) to weld together a truck frame. In my case I needed to replace the back half of my frame due to rust, in this video I go into detail how I went about putting it back together. I used a Z notch cut/weld and a fish plate on the inside frame rail.

Man C channels are amazing I hate box frames it's a nightmare to fix
I have a couple of questions. Would an oval patch be a better option? Hard corners usually leave stress risers and are where cracks usually start ive been told. Also, if your gonna have corners, shouldnt you wrap them to help prevents cracks from starting? Just curious, i dont weld this type of thing, so its always interesting to see how its applied to different uses. Thanks for the video!
What process is this? I hear short circuit vs spray something or other. I don’t weld a whole lot and am self taught and wanted to know what you used here. Thanks.
Nice job, but in the north east that original frame would be mint,I added 50 pounds of farm scrap to bring mine back
Skookem job.
Almost true! I have forty years experience in welding! We don't MIG weld outside MIG welding use gas! We always grind all scale or joints before welding! The steps taken were good but not PERFECT!
