An old welder in a Milwaukee shop told me 'a clean weld is a strong weld' but I've seen some ugly ones hold just fine.

Feel that. Seen some real ugly welds that held up better than the pretty ones.

Kinda reminds me of my grandpa's old truck, honestly.

Yeah, what makes a weld strong anyway? @the_iris is right about ugly ones holding up, so maybe the old saying is more about good prep work. A clean joint before you start is way more important than how it looks after. The pretty ones can have hidden problems if the metal wasn't ready.
