Struggling with rust and cracks on your Chevy K5 Blazer frame? Fear not! In this 5-part series we start with a frame restoration where Austin teams up with John Etie from Strong Hand Tools repairing a truck frame. In part 1, they use the Everlast Hurricane 220 to cut out all the new supports with by plasma cutting before switching over to MIG to weld them on. They also attach a fishplate to a known weak spot in the frame to prevent cracking. Check back soon for part 2, where they will be replacing the floor pans.
