they are forced to call it pneumonia due to infection of a raw area lung (you could say it was self induced - confined area welding.)
wheezing my firecracker in the lung sound yesterday and today in the sun, got cab corner number 5 done... looks kinda nice as one layer thick, the weld seam is natural on the rust line. cleared out the last of the debris..from front of rocker to the cab corner is empty and fresh inside. ..
this one only took two years to put my fist through it. free truck stop 20gauge steel.. next round is a real panel...again. Just go full wrap with it. My stainless adventure is all done... I ran out this summer. the 4x10 foot sheet f perfect blessing. I got the entire truck rocker and cab corners..and did not have enough for this one.
this photo has an illusion. much stronger than it appears.the golden road plucked a steel washer through the rad support bolt hole so hard, it stayed part of the old bolt. VERY violent ride. I am impressed at how well this older looking area did. I had to start over. the hole you see reveals the rust is extremely local, and that stainless is two inches away from it. the camera makes it look like there is no cab mount in the middle...there is also a thickened area, gm has it there just for rad support mount.. that is the seam of the rust hole.. it could not decay it.
not sure or what got that violent in a tiny area. the battery is above... maybe that was an even in the distant past.
only 3 business days before inspection sticker is expired...and now I have my tools put away, and i am wheezing my man made gmc pneumonia.
I should not need a wish me luck.. 36 years of maine inspections memorized. Just insane.
