I have also used stainless steel welding rods (they're less expensive) for welding cast iron but Nickel is definitely stronger.

nah i doubt it will even be close to driveable.

once i get the front bag setup done, rear link setup/bags, body/bed mounts.. truck will go back to shed for a while. then dads anglia will come to garage and i will redo his rear frame rails.

Today at work we printed a little magazine called STREET SEEN that has a lot of pics of bagged cars and trucks. It is a regional mag for the Houston area.

Now I know what "bagging" is... Image

got body squared up on frame, tubes cut, and tacked up onto frame.. they will have two more tubes per mount to make sure its good and rigid. i spaced cab up off frame 1/4". will have to trim pinch, or fold it over some so the entire weight of truck isnt sitting on it..
