Back halve the frame and fab up a new one.

Sorry to hear that. But you learn more taking a part than putting together. So, keep the good actitud and find the next big project. Good luck

You'll find a new one. Don't let this get you down.

Bummer Garrett. Back halving it is a good idea. Something like this with a 4 link
If you do decide to 4 link I have a full stick of thick wall tubing, sized to accept Johhny Joints I can sell you on the cheap. Cost $340 or so6 years ago (sure its more now), you can have it for $100.

Would need to find a rust free frame local first.
Talked with my dad at the beginning of the build, We talked about the local parts availability with running a 4 link. would have to carry extra links but also running in to if a mount broke off. Almost just wanna keep it simple and functional.Bummer Garrett. Back halving it is a good idea. Something like this with a 4 link

I don't know Garrett, that all looks as if it'll buff out... It is a project after all. 
I have a good 80 frame sitting here too.

It will buff into dust and out with the breeze. I'm not not giving up yet, just at a mid-project crisisI don't know Garrett, that all looks as if it'll buff out... It is a project after all.

I've been keeping an eye on this one and dreaming about grabbing it but I have no space or time to do that.

I saw this and thought about you guys. Again the plan can change at any time.

that rust is fixable, esp. for a trail truck.
time to buy a welder and grinder and some plate steel...get to work.
