frame rot

[tiredmec]

I didn't see any talk of fish plaiting frame in week spots. So here I go. In front of rear springs both sides have a very advanced rust jacking and worse. Thinking on removing spring hanger and hang a plate inner and outer. Have to remove the bloom of old frame and weld in patch. Just think adding support would make me feal better. Here is some pictures have removed some surface rust. Going to sand blast with my old harbor freight pot blaster. Any thoughts.
PS. When I worked on big trucks the fish plated frames were subject to inner steel departing from rust.
Just want to add plate will be 1/8 thick same as [oe] frame dont think it will mess up springs. Thinking 6 inches each side of spring hangers width. As I said before thoughts experance with this.
I added pics and spell checked.

The ones I’ve done, I cut out and patch, then fishplate from both sides on the vertical joints.

An extra 1/8” here or there will not effect the springs.

*Check the bushings in the springs, there is a good chance they are shot as well.
