Build story
Picked this up for $700, because the frame was rotted out, I knew what I was getting - but I drove it home after some work to get her going.
I took a lot of time to rebuild the passenger side frame from the engine mount to the rear axle and everything in between. I am building skills as a fabricator, and this was an early project in my skill-building. MIG welding to rusty metal, as much as you prepare, creates circumstances and behaviors, and results that are hard to control.
Driver’s side was only bad behind the rear axle.
Replaced the gas tank too, the seam had a split.
We have put over 40,000 miles on it since the work was completed.
