I've done body work since the middle 70's. For the crack on your bed side, take a small drill bit and find the end on the crack and drill it at the very end of the crack making it round at the end. This will keep the crack from going further down the road, then weld from the hole to the other end of the crack switching ends of the crack to avoid excessive heat. Go VERY SLOW, using compressed.air to cool the spot welds as you go to avoid warping.

yeah Ive learned a lot working with Harmon... I put in both cab corners and also built and welded in several other patch panels.. I jump around stitching the welds.. and I use the air to cool as I go.. but I didn't know about drilling a hole at the end of the crack.. makes perfect sense.. even old dawgs can learn! thank you!!

"Darth Grader" is a great name. I had gotten used to "Crusty", but it won't take me long to address this truck by its' proper title - lest I get hit by the Force.😁 You say you didn't get a lot done, but I beg to differ, as shortening the support for your plow by yourself is a task in itself. Don't sell yourself short. I sure appreciate your having us over, even though we don't lift a finger to help, lol! P.S. I stopped by your cousin Baylon Wire's place, and Jimmy Hoffa is fitting in nicely. I even subbed! In closing, I want to wish you a Merry After Christmas (just in case I didn't wish you one ahead of time).

Do you have a Department of Transportation Storage Area for state snowplows near you? Stop in and talk to the supervisor and get some pictures of how the blades are designed on the snowplows. They are built for VERY heavy duty! There's 3 inches of steel plates and bars laying where the blade touches the ground. No rubber, no Teflon. Have a Happy New Year!

yeah i know how they are built and the steel blade on my driveway is absolutely what I have to avoid! my driveway is a thin ribbon of "chip seal" and the blade dig it up and destroy it.. thats why I've used a snow blower for the past 30 years but I'll modify the blade so I can use it on my poor little road. haha
