Got her back from the boys yesterday. I really couldn't be happier with how it turned out. I don't have any concerns about strength of the frame. I know for sure that it's stronger than it was, because there where "reinforcement" plates welded to the bad spots in the frame that had been on the truck while it was being used. I also was trying to learn about frame repair on the YouTubes, and man, some of the stuff on there was abysmal compared to what my boys pulled off. Anyway, he's some pics. Pic 1 is the total job. 2 is the spring hanger area that was rotten, I cut a piece out of another frame I had that is in pretty rough shape for the repair and that's what you see here. 3 is the reinforcement on the spring hanger repair. Also the cross brace that runs between the frame rails had angle braces that ran from cross brace down to the frame. Those were in pretty rough shape, so they cut them out and fabbed new ones. 4 is the new bumper rails? I guess? They were cut and welded and rusty, and the cross brace was bad too, so they put new rails on and fabbed a new cross brace. 5 is the reinforcements on them.
