    To add to what Bucky said it's a magazine Where YOU can have a story published. I've written several on trips I've taken hauling trucks, technical articles on body work and about my own 59 W200 I call Stubby. This is a magazine that's not like any others. It's not half articles and half advertising like every other magazine that's out there. Sure they have a bigger budget but the PWA is about US and our trucks. My trucks have been pictured plenty of times in the PWA and there is something special about seeing your truck or story in a worldwide distributed magazine. Yes worldwide. You can write a story about what you've learned working on your truck. We don't care how it's written, Gordon can help you with that. Seeing your name as the author in a magazine is something not everyone gets to do. We need stories about how you got your truck, your learning process as you go along. Attend the rally in Iowa and meet Gordon while you sit and chat with him. This first time I went to Iowa I was told it's like a family reunion. That was in 2001. I've been there ever since and it's just that a reunion. Being a part of the Dodge family, and it is a family, is different from anything else you will encounter. Where else can you go to get answers this quickly and helpful? Subscribe today and you'll read each issue cover to cover like the rest of us. The PWA is not just 40's and 50's Power Wagons. You are keeping track of what you've been doing to your truck right? Get a small notebook and start a journal. NOW !

      Depends on what type of parts you're referring to? Most any mechanical parts are still available through the normal parts houses. The body parts typically come from my own parts bins / parts trucks. Occasionally I'll buy parts from the classified adds from the forums, e-bay, etc. There's also the" want to buy" sections in the parts sections of the forums.
      I'm usually around all weekend during the winter time, if you're up this way give me a call, 618-973-8oo4. Doug

          As long as you don't touch the line with your tip you'll be fine. It should be far enough below the floor to be out the way. You are welding from the top side correct? Seam sealer will take care of the bottom lap. If you have pictures send them to me at 59redtruck(@) frontier.com remove the ( ).

            Yes, welding from the top, What seam sealer are you talking about? I bought this 3m body caulk, that is what i was going to seal all the way around, even on top. No new pictures yet, the weather has been crap, I will try to do some more welding tomorrow. Should I weld all the way around?

              I'll assume the 3M product you have is in a tube like house caulking? If so that's fine, lay it out and spread with you gloved finger. I use Eastwood's brushable seam sealer but as long as you have a body sealer that's fine. Yes weld the entire perimeter of the patch.

                  Didn't figure you would. If you grind off the welds be sure to cover any glass or you'll have spatter all over it and ruin the glass. Are you learning anything as you go along? It's always a good job if you learn something for the next time.

                      More welding today, the passenger side is done and primed, the driver side is allmost done. I have to cut wood tomorrow, if I have time I will try to finish the driverside. How do I download pictures from my phone to my Photobucket account?

                            Both sides are done, sealed, primed, and I used bedliner on the floor, looks pretty good. I need to seal the underside next.
