Mounting a welder in the bed.

You are smokin strawberry leaves again man. I’ve had it in there as a 900 pound skid for 15 years, no crushing happening. The ribs get filled in with flat bar before getting tightened. I am talking about cutting the weight in half and mounting with the entire bottom plate of the welder on the bed instead of the 5, 2” tubes of the skid.
You could probably get away with using a thinner wall 2" sq. Tube as a base. (and still keep the weight down)

Not really a dedicated skid, but a lightweight support to distribute the weight across the bed.
This would also put the machine back up to the top of the bed rails the way it was originally.

Can you smoke strawberry leaves?
