Re: 1972 k10 swb 4x4 c/10 Custom 10 Deluxe

The frame is pitted and thin around all 4 of the rear spring hangers. It's also crusty where the crossmember is riveted in at the forward rear hangers. I have the frame pieces and 2 sets of complete hangers to repair this. The frame sections I have are part of a complete 1972 4x4 long bed chassis. I think it might be better to just repair this one and have the other for another 4x4 project or conversion. From the hangers forward the frame is great. I'm not sure what caused the rear only to suffer the thinning. I've used this truck like this since I've owned it.
