I had a guy give me a 88 1 ton truck, the dump bed is in great condition and so is the motor and transmission. The big problem is the frame is rusted through, is there anything I could do to repair the frame? I do not want to spend the money to have everything taken off of the truck and put on another frame. I have added some pictures for the rusted frame, any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

You don't want but... change the frame.

 

I agree with SomedayJ. That thing looks F'd. I don't see any possible way to patch that and have any sort of structural strength in it.

 

Old thread but I wonder How much was in the budget Yes it could be fixed if the OP could do the work it would have been done.

Paying someone at regional rates your looking at $2500.00 maybe much more cost effective only the OP can decide it was not worth fixing by the party that donated him the truck.

Finding a one Ton frame would be interesting .

No matter what was decided it would not be cheap
