I finally stripped everything off the frame of my 54 and can see the middle crossmember just behind the cab is rusted pretty bad. I'm going to have to replace it. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement for it? This is the crossmember with the Steel gossets.

Thanks,

I'd suggest advertising in the parts wanted part of the swap meet for a replacement frame.

People trying to sell frames don't seem to get much for them, and I'm sure it would be less work to clean up another frame than to swap that crossmember.

And if you can't get a complete frame you may be able to get a used crossmember the same way.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble...

I see frames themselves go really cheap and pretty often to boot...might be better just to grab up a nuther one and start with sandblastin..

As you most likely already know, a '54 frame is different from earlier frames.
