OK my FC is the one getting a diesel Mercedes OM617.
I took the cab off and the frame has one crack behind the cab mount drivers side and a big patch on the passenger side same place.
Since I will be adding a few cross members. Needs some advice?
Frames are just mild steel not heated? Can the safely be welded (I will be sending out to a certified welder).
What are opinions on boxing the whole frame??
And if I do a flip cab is it worth making a sub frame under the cab the goes back to the other mount (looking at the web ones I have seen looks like a lot of load flipping it up on the front mounts only.
Please some must want a free 226 short block (in Vancouver Canada)...Coming out on Saturday.
