Rotting Chassis ~ what to do?

[predator]

id replace the frame.. not that hard to do, take a week end if you got the tools and a place to do it.

instead of replacing the frame( it is a VERY DANGEROUS slope to be on because you will want to sandblast and paint it and WHILE YOU'RE THERE....) i would find a good solid truck and keep this as a parts truck...much safer option so that this doesnt turn into a full-blown project...
