I would suggest getting a bronco graveyard catalog. Many f150 parts great info. Also typically if they carry the same part as lmc there way cheaper. Like door panels and body parts. Looking good

Progress update-I started to drill out the rear suspension bracket rivets to clean underneath rust underneath, pain and reinstall with bolts. Around the 15th rivet I was tired and drilled slightly out of the hole in the bracket. Is this bracket still usable? It's nice and solid/thick and would like to keep the original bracket.

If you have a welder, you can fill the bad hole up and grind it back. Don't get it too hot or you could weaken the metal. Even without welding it back up, it would still be usable until you got a replacement.

I haven't updated in a while so i wanted to give a quick recap of the progress. The rust on the back have of the frame has been treated/sealed/painted and currently in the progress of re-installing all the suspension brackets. I'm hoping to have the fuel tank installed and rear end painted this weekend.

Update: All new brackets, hardware, bushings, shocks and end links were installed this weekend and gave them a final cost of chassis black. I will re -route the wiring and change the rubber lines and will be ready to start the underside of the bed!
