Re: Bluburb winter? project
I don't know if all the frame pieces are available so if I were in your position, I would take a lot of measurements and go a local wrecking yard or find someone parting out a pickup and get as much frame and braces as needed and only remove metal as I have a piece next to me to replace it with and what is not available, just remember it only metal, so brace can easily be made as long as you can bolt the needed parts back to it. Kind of working your way into the rot then working out, to keep everything sturdy.

Re: Bluburb winter? project
Thanks 3drburb I have two good frame rail cut offs to work with ,so I just have to make sure I take my time to get a good fit up. If I can't get my welds looking good enough I will hire some one to do them.

Re: Bluburb winter? project
So I made a little progress this week. made a rough cut off of the frame rails to access the rear tail gate sill. Decided to remove the sill in one piece, It's a little tricky coming out, had to drive it down then spin it to clear the lower inner quarter panels. Cut out portion of sill because of rust jacking with plates under sheet metal. I am searching for a piece of steel channel to replace the rusted section.

Re: Bluburb winter? project
The sill can not be removed unless the frame is out of the way. either the body needs to be off, or cut the frame rails like I had to do. This means I can't weld the frame rails in untill the sill is back in place.

Re: Bluburb winter? project
Well finally have some progress to show. Health issue's kept me out of the garage for a month. The rear hatch sill is installed, and the frame rail sections are welded in. Moving on to the area behind the middle seat, the floor area where the back of the seat bolts in is badly rusted. Three pieces of metal are sandwiched together, and there is a lot of rust jacking. this is going to be a challenge.
