Spent some money but it wasnt on my truck :/ I got tired of asking people to weld me stuff so found out some older guy across town was selling his welder. Its a hobart handler 125 came with auto darkening helmet,gas kit, roll of flux core wire,3 extra tips and gloves. Practically brand new said he only used it a hand full of times got it for 250.00(gas converision kit goes for 80+ alone) That means I can finally fix my truck!!!! just need to get some supply's. I love this thing already.

LER ME KNOW If YOU FIND ANOTHER ONE!!! good god..I just got my torch setup, but a nice hobart for 250...goddam son...

 

Yeah I know he was a nice older guy he bought it to weld up a few things on his f100. We were talking for about a hr or so and was looking at his truck and his 43 ****** he restored. He said his wife wont let him restore another vehicle unless he gets rid of one so he said I guess im not going to need a welder anymore. He wanted 300 but I told him 250 and I would help him cut up some trees he wanted down. So all good plus I dont mind a lil manual labor. Great deal for me lol.

 

bad *** man!

 

Now only if it doesnt rain tom ill hopefully have the holes in my bed done(its only been 8 months haha)

 

Holes from....?

 

Rust monster haha I have 2 on my driver side one on my passenger side and 2 small holes from the po where he over loaded the truck and the rear leaf bolts broke off the perch and tried to come up through the bed lol

These are my 2 biggest ones

So all together I have both my front fenders to do, 2 under my cab and 5 in my bed!!! Now I understand why my truck was so cheap with only 73k on it. The engine runs like brand new tho no noises(knock on wood)

 

nothin you cant fix. you should herculine the bed when you get everything welded

 

I already have it lol. Ive had it for awhile now.

 

Got part one done before the rain
