So I stumped into these frame brackets on eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&viewitem=&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.com%3A80%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.dll%3Ffrom%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm37%26satitle%3D290165176922%26category0%3D%26fvi%3D1&item=290165176922
My rear of cab frame brackets have been pretty much eaten away by rust and right now the cab sits 1" higher on the driver's side since the passenger's side bracket has already failed, so I decided to give them a shot. If you take a look at the pic the corners where the bends meet seem like they are welded; well, they're not. I was wondering if they should since my understanding is that that would actually put that bend to "work" under stress with the rest of the structure and not just take all the load by itself... I can do the weld myself, I just don't want to mess up the design if it is supposed to be like this...
Hope someone can help me...
