Weld-on shock mounts

110v or 220? Gas or flux? What size welder? You would be surprised what you can do with a good 110 welder and gas shielding. I built a lot of beefy stuff with a 110, just takes a little more metal prep to make sure you get enough heat and weld into the part.
I'll just farm it out, James. No way am I going to try to learn to weld on the truck. Rakes or tack welds, yes.....vehicles, no.
You guys would soon have thread titled "Tom died testing the truck yesterday" from my wife.
While some people here would think thats just grand, I personally don't think its so desirable, although the wife would be well off financially.

James is right. I've done alot with 110v welders. On thicker stuff you can make multiple passes. I made the hitch for my pickup with a 110v stick welder using 7018 and it's held up great.
Just remember Tom, tack welds are your friend so you can look at it multiple times before you commit to it, plus you can cycle it if you use enough tack welds.
Sounds good Tom. Pictures and ideas are your friends.
