Chassis advice

So, I recently picked up a yota with 2 parts trucks and the one in photo below is the bet if the three.



Only real issue is frame damage on the front driver side. The PO was bombing down a farm road and managed to rip the upper control arm out of the frame. While digging around I noticed the rear front differential mount was completely rotten. I think this may be the root cause because the metal surrounding the UCA mount is pretty good. Weldable even.

My question is, does anyone make a beefier UCA mount that includes motor mount & shock mount? What about after market bump stop mount and diff mount?

Trucks this rusty are a menace to all on people the roads, and should go to the scrappers, forthwith.

Otherwise, buy a frame.

In new England they come this way new. But thanks for the helpful response. I'll scrap three 91 short ​​​​cab pickups with 120k immediately. Great idea.

Oh no, it's too dangerous. It would require effort and dedication to make it happen anyway. I think I'll scrap them and get a new coma for 40k at 3% interest for 72 months...much better 💡.

Turns out there is quite a bit of good metal under there. Looks like the diff mount isn't really all that great to begin with. A little cutting and a little welding might just do the trick.
