So looking over the frame I discovered a number of stress cracks mostly around rivet holes that I am cleaning up. I'm convinced that I will need to box the frame at least between the axles and weld the riveted cross members.



I also welded up and resurfaced the cab mounting brackets since they were really rusted.


And just to be a perfectionist, I bought the largest crescent I could find, not for leverage but for the throat depth, to straighten the unruly waves in the frame. Made quick work of that; much faster & truer than the hammer and dolly I was using.
