what frames could i use or could i cut the back half off and work with my truck ... could i use one off a 87 pickup with a v6 or are the different or one off a 91 pickup with 4

did you completely sever the frame in half or is it just rotted by the front leaf spring mounts?

brokevayota

the round brace that hold up the gas tank were it goes through the frame broke into and on the driver side it broke at the rear spring perch its beyond patching or saving so any idea what frames i could get the back half off of

xxxtreme22r

I have no idea, but I had my frame patched above both spring perches. I was pretty bad if you ask me. When the guy put it on his lift he said the one side perch fell on it's own, meaning the only thing holding the spring in place was the weight of the vehicle. He said the other side wasn't too far behind.

If you look in my build thread you will see where it was patched and how much he patched.

I would think your gonna find the same issues if you found another frame. Good luck.

i went to changes the 35's on my truck to new 33's and when i jacked up the rear end the tail section on the frame just went on up to lol and with just pushing up and down the whole section came off

I have a buddy at work who got a truck with a cracked frame for like 100 bucks.
Cracked right at the bed, so he cut the frame off, made the rear end of it into a buggy pretty much.
You could do the same thing, or a flat bed, or even bolt the bed up to it again.

Just take lots of measurements if thats the route you take.

An 84-88 pickup v6 or 4cyl, but long bed and short bed are different length back halves.

Or an 84-89 4Runner, if it's a short bed PU. You could also use a 90-95 4Runner, but you'd have to mod it for leaf springs instead of coils.

They are interchangeable as long as the wheel base is the same.

I know I didn't say I knew, but aren't the leaf springs/coil springs different? I would think they wouldn't be a direct fit. ie 89-95 had different leaf springs and the 4runners forget which years had coils.

frames might be the same but the rear suspension will be different and will have to be dealt with I would assume.

brokevayota

so here it is again maybe somebody could help me out ...got a 87 short bed pickup 4x4 4 cylinder framed rusted in 2 and have a 95 short bed 4x4 4 cylinder frame will the 95 frame be the same as 97 if not could i use the rear section from behind the cab mount back ? any insight would help

brokevayota

same as the "87"

2DoorRunner

Yeah i bet it would work. If anything, you might just need to relocate the dody mounts on the frame.

brokevayota

brokevayota

Patience is clearly not one of your virtues.

Do some searching in the Engine Swaps section and you'll find your answer.
If you need the answers as quick as you make it seem then that is your best bet.

I'd also start being more appreciative to the members who are helping you out instead of complaining about not getting an answer.
Just a thought.
