LooseScrews listen to what 1969k10stepside says he knows his stuff on these 4x4's. If I were closer to you and you do get a new/replacement frame I would be interested in the rear section of your frame. See It is worth redoing people even want the parts you may take off and replace.

Keep up the GR8 work. IMO almost all are worth saving and there are some real nice trucks on the road today that stated out alot worse than what you have. RJ22
