My bedsides have multiple holes drilled in them, for tiedown hooks. Since both sides of the metal are visible, what's the procedure for filling these holes. I talked to a couple of welders, they thin
I watched a hammer welding demonstration last summer where the guy was fixing things like you describe using a torch. I suspect you are talking to the wrong welders, and need to talk to a body man wh
Steve is right, you need to talk to a welder. I assume your talking bolt size holes, which I have welded many with a gas torch, but inert gas welding works even better. After welding use a backup do
Many years ago, long before I had a MIG welder, I was faced with the same problem, and I used a propane torch and soldered the holes. Seemed to work ok, and it doesn't make enough heat to really war
well, im not a welder, but i have watched a 2 friends of mine fill holes.....first you get a scrap of plate copper thin enough to bend to the same body contour as area with the hole...place the coppe
A round knockout metal plug from an electrical box works fine as a back-up plate for small holes. It gives you something to weld against. It also makes for lots of grinding if you want the back side
Never tried it, but I've read a penny works good as a backup plate with a MIG welder. I've warped stuff by grinding on it, the thought of grinding off an entire electrical box plug doesn't sound too
I used a chunk of brass as a backing plate to weld up the holes in my frame. clamp it in place, it acts as a heat sink and the weld won't stick to it. if you need both sides to look good you will ha
1. In case it makes a difference (little known fact) a penny is mostly nickel (the metal), not copper. 2. If you use a penny, could get in trouble with the Feds for destroying government property ;-)

Pennies are made of zinc and you can't get in trouble with the Feds for destroying money. The money belongs to you (assuming that you didn't steal it) and you can do what you want with your property.
How do they know you used one? Cruise around looking for a gut with a wielder and penny in his hand? ;) Dane oletrucks is devoted to Chevy and GM trucks built between 1941 and 1959
