Iso a 1/2 ton longbed rear leaf spring frame

Hi, as the title suggests I am in search of a 1/2 ton longbed rear leaf spring frame for my 69. The back half of my current frame is roached and I'm not the biggest fan of the way the truck rides with the rear coils. I grew up with rear leafs in pickups and every truck I've driven until this truck has had rear leafs. It's what I'm used to. It doesn't have to be perfect. I don't care if it's been patched as long as it looks solid and won't fall apart going down the road. Can't be rusted through and preferably needs to have the suspension. I guess I'm kinda hoping someone recently made a shortbed truck or a low Rider and wants to get rid of their old long bed frame frame. If you have something please message me. I am new to this as well and am working on a tight budget which is why I dontimd if the frame has been patched.

Thanks,
Stephen

Re: Iso a 1/2 ton longbed rear leaf spring frame

Been doing some digging and searching for awhile now and I came to a realization. Yes I desperately need a frame but I'm being to picky. And the traction bars will work just as well for what I am planning on this truck. At this point as long as there is no deep pitting or rust through and it's a long bed I'm interested in it. I would prefer a 5 lug truck but it doesn't have to be a disc brake truck as I can upgrade that later. However there is one stipulation. It has to come with a posi rear. I don't need the motor mounts or bushings as I'm buying those new. Thanks

As a last resort option, I've got a running, driving truck in the "trucks for sale" section. It's a 71 lwb with leaf springs and posi rear. Also has HD front and rear springs and front stabilizer bar. In NW AL.
