After all of that work it will be a damn nice truck. Does it have a running engine in it now?

Its the trans cross member. I think so anyways. I beleive it is the one in the front. It aint the one that the torsion keys are in.

Its like 6" long but not tall at all. I think the tallest it gets is an inch. We are either going to cut it out and patch it up or get a different frame. The problem is, i never see anything on craigslist. Its pointing more towards the cut and patch. If anything we will use some really thick steel.

Ah that's not serious then. Especially if the cross member is fine. Yeah even if you found something for sale, itd probably be just as bad if not far worse

Thanks. The cross member is fine. There was actually a mouse nest on the inside of the frame where the hole is.
