Long story shortened a bit, I have been lurking here for sometime. Heat my home solely with a Central Boiler OWB for the past seven years. This is a project I am doing with a group of my welding students to finish out the year. This is a truck that my oldest daughter flipped on its roof with her and her sister in it. Thank God both walked away with even very few bruises and nothing else! I am going to try to document this build with daily pictures so the end result will be seen by you as it happens.
From the rotor picture you can see the rotor broke allowing the caliper to "lock" the wheel up which caused the truck to flip on its roof during a panic stop trying to miss deer crossing the road.
THAT day I had installed the newer style seats for her, the roof was flat on the driver's side from the steering wheel to the headrest. Shudder to think if the old flat bench seat had still been in there.
The project is to create a very useable wood hauler from this truck that protected my two daughters so well four years ago. Students are really excited, you will notice we have the grill, hood, passenger door off of the truck. The passenger fender is loose, the bed is loose and the passenger wheel has one twisted/stripped lug nut holding that wheel on.
The project name and new name for this truck is the TERMITE.
If any of you are FarmShow subscribers/readers, you have the article that will give the major clue what it is my students are trying to build. We will see how well they do.
