Thread: Welding series IIa

If its a mil spec truck the chasis is gal dipped and will be a bugger to weld unless ya grind off the gal tho it should be quite simple to weld with say a 2mm 13s cig rod and around 70 od amps on a stick welder ....

The chasis is just mild steel tho may be rusty so give it a good grind and fit the earth clamp as close to the weld area as possibale

Thanks, I'll give it another go this week.

If its a S11 the chassie aint Galed (unless somebody has done it after it left the army)

Yup, only the later perentie 110's had galvanised chassis. Should just be plain old steel.

Ok i stand corrected i thought all mill spec jobbies were gal dipped
