1967 Dodge D-100 (Isaacs truck)

[drummerdad]

Got a lot done this weekend. About 10 hours total, but I got the bed mounts fabbed and installed. I also verified the cab is leaning, so that explains the body lines not lining up. So, I removed the bed and welded the mounts and the rear cross member. Ill finish boxing the frame, add a tow hitch and some other supports. I still have to finish the 4-link welding too.

Im still working on my welding. I think Im getting better, but I still need work. The vertical welds look like catapillars for some reason. They are penetrating well, because I ground a few out to look at them. They were good, they just look funky. Im passable on a flat surface, but the vertical welds look weird. Maybe Im going too fast, but if I slow down it sags. Anyway, here are the pictures.



1st picture- rough bed mounts. They were cut, and cleaned up before installation.
2nd- bed coming off.
3rd- bed outside. Its getting easier. I got it this far by myself.
4th- rear section. Bed mounts and rear cross member installed.
5th- another angle. Still lots of work to do.
6th- bed mount close up. The welds look funny to me. Im sure Im doing something wrong. Ill figure it out.
