Frame crossmembers

Alright guys I finaly tore down my highboy to the frame. Im gunna have the frame blasted next week and start putting her back together. Im wondering if anyone has any frame crossmembers laying around they would be willing to sell? and possibly some body mount perches? The crossmembers i need are the trans xmember and the one directly in front of it. Mine are rotten beyond repair. Ive emailed some yards out west but i dont think they have many 4x4s. Anyone got any spares? Thanks

I went through the same thing and ended up going to a local junkyard and pulling all the stuff I needed with cordless power tools... but I tell you, what saved me was bringing a cold chisel and a big hammer, hearing protection, and leather gloves. The tools worked great till the batteries died. I cut a couple brackets off just with the chisel and the hammer. It was not that much slower than the cordless tools, although it was a fair bit more work. The only problem that you'll find is that it doesn't seem that there are many highboys in the junkyard.

I don't know about the xmembers but I know for the leaf spring mounts and stuff, I've heard you can use the 2wd 2.5" spring hangers and use a washer on each side to make up the .25 difference...
