How do yall feel about frame repair(rust) I have a friend that knows where there is an 85ish 2wd swb chevy the body is supposed to be A1 with the exception of the rockers but the frame has some rot on one side(I'm guessing behind cab) so the bed isnt setting level.The truck ran when they parked it about 2 years ago(305,700r4)The engine would be changed in favor of 6.5 na diesel and possibly trans swapped for nv4500.I havent seen it but I believe that I could get it very cheaply.Would it be worth fooling with(I can weld and am currentaly working on getting my certificatons)or have I went off the deep end

?

Thanks
Shane
