Hi Billy, Wow, learning to weld on a truck frame is not the correct place to learn welding. Seriously, consider taking a Vo-tec welding course before you hurt someone. Welding overhead is just like welding in the flat position, no difference. Why your having problems is caused by several problems. Use a 1/8" electrode and the correct amperage and more important the use the correct arc length. Using the 5/16" electrode is causing you to turn down the amps to keep from buring a hole. That in turn makes you use a very long arc length thus apply more heat to the Haz thus why all the dingle berries keep falling on you. In all my writings on the tool forum about welding, you'll notice I always harp on using the correct arc length, ie; being very tight to the base metal. This allows you to control the molten puddle using the correct welding amps without having dingle berries (large ones) fall on you. You might want to spend some time reading the tool forum archives as there's been many threads written on welding. T_Bone
