I guess QA/QC was off that day..

Can't say I've seen that one before. But in this case it's a good thing.

A lot of things on those trucks are built, let's say, inadequate. They are an economy type truck and the fit, finish, and assembly left a lot to be desired IMO. We had a fleet of 75 of those at a place I used to work. One of the good things about them was parts interchanged for a lot of years so the ones we had out back were picked pretty clean.


Robert, nice work on that. That truck looks pretty rust free and with your fix should get them many more years of use out of it. It's way cheaper than buying a new, or newer one!

Nice job BUT how did you manage to weld the panels back together with out messing up the paint??
