I've been doing TONS of research.. I like to know what I have. Just like the 92-96 f150's, I know quite a bit about them as well. Or at least I like to think so.. In actuality I don't know squat!

probably didnt pay much attention to the frame itself... might want to check it out between the bushings... frame might be just as rotten lol...

We have a pretty nice 1/2 inch impact. Also have the use of a friend's 3/4 inch impact. That sucker either breaks bolts loose, or breaks them off!

its for the newer model... but just did a quick perusal... was figuring if i did it id be using 1/8" A-36 steel... figure that should be thick enough lol.. figure if i make triangle braces to go with it - it should be good enough....

I would think that would work pretty well. 1/8" is pretty tough stuff. Could always box it in, too.
