how can you tell the difference between iron and steel?
I'm afraid I can't give you a very clear answer on that. It will have a slightly different texture and appearance. Maybe someone can give better info?how can you tell the difference between iron and steel?
As I understand it the center sections are usually cast iron. I am sure there are exceptions. An experienced welder told me that you have to use a very high nickel content rod and I think it has to be preheated.John, are the center section and the c's cast steel then? Ok to weld to?

Yeah, my twin brother and Troy have worked together for years. Some of the best welders in the shipyards those two.Mr. Overkill can do those welds all day long. He welded my steel truss to my cast iron diff and I beat the crap out of my Jeep in JV over new years and it held up great. If your looking for someone who has those skills he's da man.
As I understand it, it's a matter of slowly putting the heat in and letting it slowly dissipate but I'm not entirely sure which is why I paid Troy to do it and blissfully forgot about it the next day...
Oh yeah and something about NIROD, which was 5 dollars a stick
So how are you guys keeping the axles from warping when you truss them?
