I've got the motor and trans up for sale and I hate dealing with the craigslist flakes trying to low ball.
Anyways, I removed all the engine bay wiring and chassis wiring. All that is left wiring wise is inside the cab. I also pulled the radiator out and the rusted out battery tray. I love how simple these trucks are (I work on European cars during the day).
I noticed that someone has hacked away parts of the frame rails (areas in red below). I'm concerned there isn't a lot metal underneatht he motor mounts. Will this be an issue if I want to run one of the aftermarket bolt in drop members?
The only fix would be to buy some steel and weld it on. Without bracing/boxing in the rails at those points, butt welding a plate on wouldn't be strong enough to fix anything. I'd rather not have to box the rails in, so if anyone else has seen this, chime in.
