Drill at tap the holes so you don't have any brackets sticking up when the welder isn't on the bed. Best welder by far is the Miller PipePro for pipeline welding. For the past 30 years Lincoln was the best, but now Millers PipePro is the best. I've owned them all, I'll take the Miller.

Thank you for this video sir. Answering your question ima go with a big blue 300. And giving my rig setup I will be running a tub rig. And put a 1/4 plate on the bed of the truck. Lay my welder across with the front of the machine facing the driver side. And I will be welding some angle iron around the base of the welder to keep it from moving around.

We use 3 point hitch pins with the spring pins. You need ears attached to the welder frame with the correct hole placement that drop over the pins. We also put a rubber pad or a drilled out hockey puck over the pin that the welder rides on. This dampens some of the vibrations of the welder running. In place of the 3 point hitch snap pins, a pad lock can be used for one or more of the pins. 3 point hitch pins come in various sizes and lengths with threaded ends and shoulders. It's a fast and secure way to quickly secure the welder to the rig.

I’ve welded with all them at least once but for downhill the sa-200 with the arc control is by far the best downhill machine ever made, the miller pipe pro is great for all around welding tig mig flux core they do everything well the advantage 300 can be a disadvantage if you trying to stick weld with that crappy piece of junk but it does everything else really great, pretty much all the inverters no matter what brand it is are good if they have a hot start but the ones without it suck when you try to stick weld pipe. Any Lincoln with copper wounding is gonna be your best welding machine for downhill the older the better but not the newer ones that are air cooled they over heat especially if you in south Texas in the summer time!!!!!!! If you got the money to spend the new High Country Lincoln is a go getter but who wants to spend 20,000 when a 300 Diesel will get the job done without all the glitz and glamour !!!!!!!!

Roll Tide I thought so to until I welded with a miller PipePro. By far the PipePro welds the best uphill and downhill. And, I'm a Lincoln man.

Hey welding community! Got question so I came here. Is 31 too old to start welding again? I’ve heard that it’s hard on your body and you can’t do it much past 50. I graduated a welding program about 12 years ago and worked in the industry for about 2 years before I went to college( grass is always greener syndrome) Any way after working behind a desk for a few years I realized I would rather be out in the field. But I don’t know if I’m too old to essentially start over. Thanks in advance

Weld and bolt... Bolt to bed, and use a small angle iron cage that goes over in in a place you don't need. When repairs are needs, simple cut and free. But thief's are not gonna break out the angle grinder to steal a welder on a driveway.
