If you mean rusted all the way through, as in a hole in the frame, you need to weld in reinforcement plates. Go to an expert. A screwed up frame is your worst nightmare.

I had a rusted frame, but it hadn't twisted or bent (to the best of my measuring abilities) so I just reinforced it with angle iron.

Does anyone know how many cross members a 1940 gmc should have? Also the frame is pretty badly rusted on my truck. I can possibly replace it witha 1937 chevy 2ton frame, that's in mint cond. Would that frame fit under a 1940?
