Well I just picked up a 94 pickup in excellent shape but it has a two foot section on each side of the framerail that is rotted right through. It has not broken and the top of the frame appears to be solid but the bottom of it is shot from crap sitting in the boxed frame for years. My question is what should I do to fix this? The truck is totally worth saving and I am NOT gonna do a body swap onto a nicer frame. I am a decent welder and I do have access to a good mig welder so if there is someone who has fixed a frame while the body is still on the truck, please chime in! Thanks alot

anything can be fixed in time.

this took me a week by myself working on it after work 3hrs a night.

rear crossmember and tire carrier were beyond repair, inside of frame between rear crossmember was gone, gas tank crossmember was rotted on DS











I think you should fix it.

Wow after seeing that, I think I should too! Only the rust on mine is under the cab and I am not sure if I can access it completely with the body on. Ill let you know how it goes.

Mines rotted right at the back of the cab just on the bottom too, Im just cutting that peice out and welding some heavy plate back in, then same on other side
