I have been lurking around the forum for a while but this is my first post. a friend picked up this old chevy van that had the front cut off of it and it turned into a trailer. Problem was they used 3" exhaust tube to build the tongue out of... needless to say this collpased on him towing it down the road and I had to pick it up with my deck, got it home and into the garage and cut all of the old tongue off of it. So now this is what I am left with... Another friend gave me a call cause he had 2 24 foot long chunks of 5"x1 3/4" x1/4" C Channel sitting in his yard that someone had used for eavestrough on the garage, so I loaded that up and brought it home, and I am thinking of using that for making a new tongue out of on this van trailer. What I am struggling with is welding the new tongue underneath to the existing frame that is left, or running say 3 feet into the existing frame and adding some plating to the frame and drilling some holes and putting like 6 grade 8 bolts on each side to hold it... or putting the c channel into the existing frame and welding around it, problem here is the c channel is smaller then what the original frame is. The original frame is 6x3x1/8" and can anyone recommend to mig this or to stick weld it? |
