I have a 92 toyota pickup 4x4 and the drivers side rear shock mount rusted off and now I only have one shock.
As far as I know im going to have to weld a new mount but I can't seem to find the part. Any helps appreciated
The mount you can get from a junkyard or maybe a big supplier like bilstein or OME. Hey your frame is going to need more than just a shock mount welded in. You're going to want to plate the entire length of that crack. These box frames are not meant to be c channel.

^^^ I Agree!
You have bigger problems than just your shock mount!
Fix your frame first and make sure the entire length of the frame is solid, then worry about the shock mount. Also applying a rust-proofing coating to the frame would be great while you are in there (just as long as it is applied correctly).

Good luck!
What do you recommend for a rust proof coating? I would say por 15 but it is expensive. I dont have tons of money to put into this truck but I want to make it last.
This is how you should repair it. Frame work isn't cheap and shouldn't be skimped on. Especially if you want it to last.
I would follow the thread and advice above ^^^. I will be honest and say that I have no experience with rusty frames or rust proof coatings. I live in the Pacific Northwest and the only rust I have is light surface rust below the battery tray where a bad battery ate through the paint years ago. I lucked out not living in the rust belt. All I know about fixing rust has just been from what I have read on this forum.
POR 15 seems to be the frame coating of choice here though.

that frame is beyond reasonable repair, it's dangerous junk, i would strip the truck and see if you can do something like convert a 2wd to 4wd with the parts off of this truck.
