Re: how to fix my frame 72 jimmy 4x4
Mine was cracked in the exact location. This is usually the result of putting big tires on the rig and torque from the power steering box cracking the frame. There's a steering box patch kit that you can buy for extra support on the weld. It looks like you're may have already been repaired as you already have bolts in the core support bracket vs rivets. This would make the job MUCH easier.
I'd get this work done as soon as possible. You'd be amazed at how 1/16" of an inch of play right below your steering box will cause slop in your steering. Every time you turn the wheel it flexes there and 1/16" of an inch of flex (there) is about 1/8 of a turn on your steering wheel.
