Hey Bob, 304 will be fine for strength and is good for availability. If you are welding stainless, weld with the same alloy or one higher, 308 on 304, 316 on 308 etc. Stainless and its welds are plenty strong enough. It is tough on cutting tools but welds like a dream. I was thinking of the next one in stainless then I could drive it in the salt...........with a good heater and studded snows!
