Re: Problem with the frame on my 1947 chevy truck

If there is that much rust in one spot only I would be very surprised. The problem is the dust settles in places you can't see and after years of this dust accumulation there is more than one would think. Now add moisture and the Dust becomes mud and holds the moisture.
The outside of the frame can look like brand new on the outside but be as thin as a razor blade.
Plating it could cause a stiff spot causing weak spots at the ends If not done right.
