Nice rig Sberry, prosper and be well dude.

I saw a rig like yours once that's name on the side said."Have Stinger Will Travel" after the "Have Gun Will Travel" TV western, thought it was a cool name.

Great use of space!!! for now my Trailblazer STILL resides on the back of a little Dakota PU... But... am working on the dually w/covered utility body... hope to have it on the road pretty soon... is really good to see how you have fit stuff in and integrated the package... as much room as one thinks there is in a truck like this... when you actually start to lay out where it all fits.. things get pretty tight and you wonder where all of that room went...
Thanks

Do you run the welder with "the top down?"

I usually run it like is in the pic here. In the summer it gets warm if I leave it fully enclosed. You cant see from pics but there is a vent channel in front of it down on the bed and the exhaust is plumbed under the truck. I use the gas tank that came with it but the comp is hooked on the truck. I dont do the amount of work I used to so this old truck works fine. I use it mostly for my own service work. Is great for going to the salvage yard.. ha If I was in it 40 hrs a week I would have newer truck,,, but this thing does run well and is reliable as a firetruck.

You can see the cut out in front of the machine allowing access thru the tool box. This truck is complete in the sense that I dont have to use tools from it in the shop other than 3/4 impact stuff mainly. It has its own grinders, impacts, drills, chop saw etc. I also have a bin piled with some steel as well as the rubbermaid box you see in this pic. Long stock is stored under the bed as seen in another pic along with 2 30 inch racks behind the wheel wells.

[Sberry]

I used all the space, even behind the hose reel there was a tray created when I put the floor of the bed in, ahead of the wheel wells,, was great for pipe wrenches. Up in the left hand corner you can see the switches for the air comp,, the choke cable too,, the comp is on the other side but can be ran from this side. The day after I cut down this hose reel to fit I find one in catalog,, ha. There are bins on top of truck for extra leads and hoses, I keep just enough on that I use. Most things I pull right up next to.

Last one for now, back corner bin

Ok, just so the other machines dont get lonely,,, BTW, I may have bought some Blue ones but at the time the local dealer only sold red. They since have both and one of these days I may add a 251 to the shop and a Maxstar for my pickup truck. The 255 wirematic may have to get retired to fluxcore machine.
