Hey - I'm using an S10 frame under my '52 GMC...thought I got a good deal when I drove the rusted hulk onto the trailer for 250 bucks...

But, I tore the truck down last weekend and the frame is rustier than I had expected.

I will have to repair some areas, but my question is this: Do you know of anyone that makes a boxing kit for the S10 frames? Given the rust, I'm thinking I will box the frame to get some strength and ridigity back...I know I can make my own, but would just be less hassle to get them already cut to the basic shape.

Thanks!
