Did some more wrenching today.  Some with the tool box and some with the M.I.G. Wrench.  I had to weld a spring perch back together on the truck where my friend had it break on him.  He kept driving it but I just jacked it up and it lined up fine, so I welded it, ground it smooth, then wleded gussets onto it, sandblasted and ground some more, then sprayed with rust paint crap.  It will do until I have time to replace the perches, just won't be towing or hauling much to be safe.

It's good karma, dude.
Maybe... I think sometimes the ole' truck picks its next owner, all by itself.  ;)

Truck is not at my house at the moment.  The pictures were in the sold classified section from when it was for sale.  I will get some new ones the next time I go out to tinker with it.
