I saw that but I think it's a little too far. I checked it out and it is over 700 miles

That's the problem with living in the rusty Midwest, everything local is rusted out and all the good parts are down south or out west

After doing some work on my truck today I found some frame damage due to rust. The area above the rear coil springs is rusted away and kinda collapsing. It is also very thin from the gas tank and back. I really need to find someone cutting up a frame. I can use the back half of the frame from the crossmember where the truck arms connect, all the way back to the rear bumper. That would solve a lot of problems.
