Hello no. Better than this 6 speed clutch smoker, no braker, slave cylinder leaker, body panel unaligner, dead wire, with 5k mile, 7mpg, fiat. Lol

Is there really such a critter???

Ford and GM teamed up to make a 10 speed automatic for light duty trucks. The F550 still comes with the 6 speed transmission.

Dave Shepard · Mar 8, 2018

Is that why you went with the 550 this time, to get the six speed?

MasterBlaster · Mar 8, 2018

I axed a stoopid question?

why yes... yes I did!

I did want to get the six speed before they switched.

Got the tailgate fitted together, the top rails and both side rails. Everything cut to size, a few needing routering then its some seat time.

brendonv · Mar 10, 2018

I may be high...on Argon. Fully welded two sides, goddamn does alum wanna move. Got creative and controlled it just right.

Jesus christ you shoulda been a neurosurgeon.

Dave Shepard · Mar 10, 2018

You gonna have to cut a hole in the wall to get it out, or does it come apart? :lol:

Those dimes look nicely stacked. :thumbup:

Or it could just be a lack of O2.
Looking good so far now get those pockets widened!

brendonv · Mar 11, 2018

Haha gotta source the file. Then off to stroakin

flushcut · Mar 11, 2018

I was thinking, how deep are the pockets? You might be able to use a die grinder.

SkwerI · Mar 11, 2018

What pockets? Looks like the pieces fit nicely into the bed pockets from here.

Theres four up front that are tight. Hes referencing a weldingweb forum post. A 1/16" kills when your stuffing aluminum in it. My old one i used channel to over come this. This time around i REALLY wanted full rect tubing. Easy enough.

brendonv · Mar 17, 2018

In for a smoothie brake. I routered the rest of the front cross this morning, then just started fitting them. Home stretch on the welding. Then the panels will get adhered next week.

Dave Shepard · Mar 17, 2018

Nice! I like your wedding table. Is that 1/2" plate?

brendonv · Mar 17, 2018

Ya. Havent got around to building a base. Having a confortable height bench does wonders for fab skills.

Dave Shepard · Mar 17, 2018

Especially with TIG. I only have a foot pedal, so it can get tricky sometimes.

SeanKroll · Mar 17, 2018

Put a heater under that plate and your tools will be warm in the winter.
