Seems odd

I forget but there's a video explaining that truck. And it has had 3 motors and 5 tyranny. I know for a darn fact a 60e aimt making past 400k. So no wonder the body has so many miles.

I'd be surpised if a 60e got even half of that.

Way back when I was shopping for my truck most of the ads that listed rebuilt transmissions started around 160k-180k miles. I forget the exact mileage when mine went but it was within that range too. Anything over 150k is on borrowed time, especially if its a 4x4 with larger than stock tires.

I wanna find the guy who welded this and slap the hell

You must be registered for see images attach

out of him.

The bigger problem is they thought they were doing a proper job of it. Straight from Hack&Wack Autobody. Bird turd welding for sure.

It take's some practice. Helps if you have somebody tht welds looking over you shoulder.

Good for you, you'll come out of that with some certifications. Got a kid at my buddies shop that went to tech school for welding, in the bodyshop welding crash jobs together. Many different avenues you can pursue with that.

head down, pay attention, no goofing' off. lol Gets your monies worth by learning all you can

That's how I learned to weld too. Make the most of it, you'll never have free materials again! It's all about time spent burning rods. Book knowledge is important too but you just have to put in the time practicing, learning how to make the pool do what you want and getting yourself consistent and accurate.
