My truck frame is *&^%#@ Please Help...

[canadian trucker]

Hi guys,

I'm in need of some help of your expert advise, experiences and out of the box thinking.

The frame on my 84 C-10 SWB Truck is (in the mechanics words) f@*$#d.

The rear is rusted thru and cracked on the drivers side by the first cross member after the cab. I may be able to cut it out and weld in a new piece and brace it.

The front is bent do to a crash from the previous owner. The frame had been fixed and looked like nothing had happened, been driving it for 5 years since. But after removing my rad support mount bolts it twisted to the point of having to use the forklift at work to straighten it enough to put back together. The passenger side shock mount is also sheared off. (my fault)

I have plans for this truck, put this is coming at the wrong time.

The big question

What are my options ?


Any help is appreciated
Thanks in advance.
