Yea I know how to do it. Here is the instructions I gave him when I called him on the phone. It went something like this:

Hey we need a welder on our adventures. I got the shower, and I got no room. You need to get the welder. He was like where do I get the money for that. I say the way we always do, we hack it ourself with junk parts. Then he says figure it out, and I do it. OK I say. Get the bigest Ford alternater you can find that is externaly regulated. excite the winding with 12V and just run the stinger from the hot lead. Make the ground lead go back to the alternator so you don,t burn up your other electrics.. He was like I will try it.

A few weeks go by and he called and said it works. Then he came up with a cut extention cord to run a grinder. just clamps it to the welding leads. He thinks about putting an outlet on the truck, but then he would have to pack an extention cord to get to the back.

Our next idea was to put a light dimmer on the 12 exciting the field windings. and fine tunning it to run a tig. Then we can weld Aluminum radiators or maybe a Tcase back together. Mainly for the cool factor.
