I have a question for everyone. I have just been able to start working on my first truck i ever owned. I am wanting to do a frame up restoration, but ive found that the rear of the frame is very very rusted, and i havent even taken the sandblaser to it yet. Any idea's for repair? Are there weld/bolt on kits for the rear of the frame? Or does anyone know of reputable places that would repair it close to the illinois/iowa region. Background: 1980 GMC 3/4 ton, Dana 60 front, corperate 14 rearFF, originally had a lemon 350, dad put in a 454 in 83 and still runs great, muncie 4sp and np205. If the frame isnt repairable, does anyone know good links to find another frame, as you can see above, i don't really want to have to scrap the truck. Any help is appreciated. Another note, I am a bit of a novice, but a quick learner. Thanks again. Scott
