Andy,
Wonderful work! Did you end up putting a slip shaft / slip yoke in your PTO drive to the winch? I have done three pto winch installations of these in past 10 years and have always put a lip joint in each of them to deal with flexing during use. However, I have see brochures and had original Ramsey drive shafts that are just a straight shaft with a universal joint on each end. Just wondering.

So far my intentions are to install a slip on the front portion of the shaft just behind the winch and just ahead of the support bearing, what you see in the pic. is me squaring up the body to the frame so i can drill new body mount holes, when i replaced the floors i dident make any holes so when the hat channels are installed it will all line up, some of the other things i have been going over are the sector shaft in the steering box, i had changed my orignal one out when i rebuilt the steering box but after the Omix warning i couldent remember what i had, it turned out i have a crown but it has some issues of its own such as being too fat on the spline end and being one not to throw anything out i found the box for the crown part with the orignal sector in it now after having a good look at it i will reinstall it back in the box, other things are pedal hole alignment and sheetmetal in general, i will post some pic. of the sector shafts the first chance i get

the crown shaft is on the left and the orignal is on the right they both have hardned buttons and one piece construction but the crown is fat on the splines and the buttons have wear on them and thats only from moving in the driveway, so i removed the crown shaft and instaled my orignal shaft

Don't want to speak for Andy, but I think those are called butt welding clamps. You can pick them up at your local Harbor Freight.

Stan got it , if you look back in my post you can see some of the different types of clamps that I have used to repair panels, the most important thing to remember is be patient ,work slow and keep the metal cool, I keep a blow gun or a rag in a bucket of water and after each spot weld I cool the metal , this keeps the warpage to a minimum

What did you sand the body down with? Do you just spot weld the new pieces first and then go back and fill it in? I keep on having trouble blowing through the old metal. I am trying to teach myself how to weld also. I am using a Miller 140 mig welder.

I am using a miller 211 welder with 0.30 wire and mixed gas ,with a little practice on some scrap pieces to get your temp and wire speed just right ,you can also go with a smaller wire i think its 0.28 ,this is much easier to use on sheet metal, you want full penetration for a strong weld. I will weld in the patch completely and keeping the metal cool as its welded in, then I use a disk grinder to knock down the hi spots first being carful not to get the metal hot then a abrasive type of flapper disk , I will also check the shape of the metal an work it with a hammer and dolly to keep the shape I want, big thing is don't be scared to hammer and twist the metal to get it where you want.

My Dad taught me an old Boilermaker trick for heat warp.
Take your torch to the high spot and get it nice and hot but don't blow through, then quickly press a soaking wet rag against the hot spot and hold it there to tighten the metal molecules and shrink it down. I'm using those clamps as well as vice grips for my patch lineup too. |
