  dont make fun of me,  or i'll have bro and evil sister sit on you at the same time

[79coyotefrg]

well, a little fat man  is  getting things done,  slowly

igot the drivers side slider  cleaned up  and welded on,  well  part way, then i ran out of rods,  got some more today though

[79coyotefrg]

so anybody   Minisimp where are you??? have really good autocad skills  that can design me a good  "powerwagon type" bed for my truck?   i'mtoo short to try and  get up in the bed anymore so i need a  sort of stepside/utility bed

the deck will be 40 inches  by 6 foot, sides  i think one foot? room for a toolbox on the rear on each side,   storage in front of the wheel wells

[Duffil]

Got ant pics of PW Type bed?

[Dr.Maxwe001]

I wouldnt burn anything less than 7016 rods

[79coyotefrg]

I wouldnt burn anything less than 7016 rods

7016, 7018, 11018, are all fine for welding on clean new  steel, with 150-190 amps   but to weld  deep on used steel, where you might be welding thru rust,paint, some dirt, with sometimes poor fitment and welding at 70-90 amps, a 6011 is the only rod to use,  works in any position, and burns as deep with 90 amps as a 7018,7016,7014, at twice the amperage

so  why would i want  a rod that has to use trice the amperage  and that needs much more work to prepare the weld joint

[79coyotefrg]

Got ant pics of PW Type bed?

i'll try and find some

[79coyotefrg]

the bed sides wouldnt be near as high,

this shows round fenders,   but i would want the trapezoid (military) fenders  to use as a shelf  when working on something

i love the look of these old trucks

[79coyotefrg]

i got a "desktop dyno"  for my birthday (sunday the 20th)
after entering all the specs of my engine, crank,cam etc,  heres the results

173 hp @ 5500rpm 
159 hp @ 4500  with peak VE  at 96.3 %
119 hp @ 3500 with 90% volumetric efficiency
97hp @ 3000

torque??
185 lb @ 4000
170 lb @ 3000
150 lb @ 2000

[79coyotefrg]

WOW,  retarding thetiming to 5*  added 7 hp at 5500

[KDXSR5]

Hmmm.... wanna run it for my engine?

[unclejpl4x4]

ya me 2

[79coyotefrg]

send me a pm with all your specs

[CTENG in KS]

DOn;t forget that is flywheel.

[79coyotefrg]

DOn;t forget that is flywheel.

RIGHT,

what does it loose, like 15%

Yeah sure buddy, that would take me a good month if I had a truck on hand for measurements! You might have to wing it. Just start with the base, then the front wall, then the sides, then the tailgate last.

  When stick welding I've only used 6011 or 6013.  I tried 7018 and hated it!

[79coyotefrg]

7018 is great if your fabing with new steel  and running a commercial machine with 440 3phase  backing you up,  but  with a  220 machine  on MY electric bill,  6011  is  for me
