If you need help fixing the frame u got I can help. I wouldnt replace it just because of the cracks around the box. You can get the repair section and braces for less then 200 bux. You can get just the repair section for under the gear box for like 60. I wouldnt do a frame swap just for the little damage you have .. UNLESS you are going to do a frame off complete resto anyways I would just fix what you got. Let me see if I can find the link to what I'm talking about.

How did you fill the cowl? it looks good!

[spudz]

You need this kit GU39002 Use link below to find it. Its 70 bux but is 10% off I think. If you still replace the frame, I'd be interested in your old frame. I have a 87 GMC long bed that has a bent frame in the middle from being put in a ditch. I got it for parts but if I could get an already stripped lwb frame I may just swap it on it.

I dont want to buy your new frame, I want to buy the one you take out from under your truck. I dont need any suspension. just the rails. or whatever one you have left over after the swap
