Re: I gave up
Presently on the fence. Looked at it again today and the rust hole is near where a c-notch plate might cover it, as I had been mulling over doing a 4/6 drop. I didn't notice it until after I removed the bed. Previous owner apparently used it for his fishin' vehicle and didn't worry about washing it after spending the day at the beach, and the rotten wood bed floor didn't help either...
I used to have the attitude that nothing is too far gone to fix up unless you can't bolt a license plate to it.
Nevertheless I'll need a welder even though the plates mount with grade 8 hardware. I'll be visiting some shops in the area for advice.
Summit has the McGaughey's kit complete for about $500, might be worth it?
If I have time during the week I'll take a picture of the hole.
