So, my plan is to shed some sheet metal. I'd like to take the box off and build a cage to house my fuel cell, radiator and a toolbox. the plan then, is to build a cage around the cab, and I'm thinking that dove-tailing the front end and extending the cage foreward from the cab to a push bar. I've seen lots of rigs like this and think it would be really cool.
So, questions:
What is the ideal size tubing for this type of work?
Where in minnesota (MC's neck of the world) do I go to buy the steel supplies I need?
