Been out of town and working OT when I'm not... finally got a little time yesterday and the rest of today to try to get some more work done on this mid arm.
For anybody that has installed this front truss before, are you intended to weld to the ends of the axle housing at all (aside from the top ears) or just the tubes and spring perch? Pretty sure the pumpkin is cast iron and I'd need to heat that up to something like 400° and wrap it afterward is my understanding. I'm an amateur welder and just have a Hobart 190 and little mapp gas bottle to get this done.
Don't look into the fitment and cleanliness too much here, still need to grind a little factory weld out of the way and clean the whole axle up first. Just a test fit
