Greetings,

Can you share the steps you took to knock the old ones out? I have to knock out the cross members on my bus also.

Did you drill out welds, use an air chisel or cut and grind? I ask because although I don't plan to weld in new ones myself, I figure I could save a handful of dollars delivering the bus to the metal person with the pieces out.

Are you going to weld in the new ones yourself?

Love the slider by the way!

Eskimo Tom

i've been trying real hard to get a lot of the rusty bits out yesterday and today. I had to remove the center heat pipe, rip out the front cross bar support and grind down the spot welds. My arms are tired today.
I was happy when I started:

heater pipe removed. Someone has replaced this at some point.

passenger side cleaned up. I did the drivers yesterday.

then I just wanted to see what it would look like with fresh metal in there! nice. Dancing

I've noticed a nice hole in the front beam this winter: :2gunfire: :2gunfire:

I finally made it out today. finished my chores early on my second day of vacation. So I had previously cut out the majority of the rust. I welded in the patch today. This is nothing fancy but its solid now. I still need to do the back side and start with the removal of the old center cross support. Any tricks to getting up there with the grinder in this cold.

A little bird told him....

We used to carry his stuff and knew the piece. Actually thought we had one or 2 for our own project but could not find them when I went to put them in.

They are easily findable on a search, we have them in our favorites. Last time I knew Wolfgang International and Bus Depot still carry there stuff now on this side of the pond
