So after the body was removed I went thru the body to look for issues.
The first issue I found was the very front crossmember had sheared the rivets
and was pulled forward four inches. this must have be done from a chain or
something pulling the truck out before my time. The other side rivet was loose.
Next Issue: both rear cab mounts looked like this I still need to weld in the plates I made.
Ran out of Gas for the welder.
To fix the crossmember issue I welded in the new leaf spring crossmember in solid and plated
the frame and made braces. this is ten times as strong as before.
Then rolled it out pressure washed it and painted it with chassis paint.
