Has anyone ever tried and used the little 110 volt gasless mig welders. Do they do ok for sheet metal work. I know the gas is smoother but doesn't really matter to me.

a 110 welder will be fine for sheetmetal and body work. any framework though, should be done with a 220.

Nah regular cab with a 2.5. Gonna swap in a small block. The motor is crapped out. I allready took the dash out and going to gut it and probably build a drag truck. The boy allredy stole my good interior out of it for his.
