That damage was caused by towing another vehicle with a chain wrapped around the crossmember. There's no need to replace it- - - - -a good body/frame man can straighten it in about 10 minutes with a rosebud tip on an acetyline torch and a big crescent wrench to use as a bending tool. These old frames are mild steel- - - -heating and straightening them doesn't compromise the strength of the metal like would happen with a newer frame.
