How bad is this frame rust??
I'm having a friend do the bodywork on a 90 bronco that I got for nothing from my uncle, and he pointed out a nasty frame rust problem... How bad is this?? What, if anything should I bother to do? (I dont wanna try to rebuild it though) Any ideas, or opinions on the longevity of this thing would be much appreciated
thanks all!
thanks all!

I plan on cleaning it up as good as I can and coating it in zero-rust, I guess my main concern was if this is structurally unsafe and I should be really worried about it in its current state.
But if you've seen worse, I guess thats a good sign
thx again

Hey there,
I've seen that problem before. You can buy new spring perches from the Ford dealer. I believe that they're about 20 bucks each.
I've replaced them in the past. They aren't too bad to do. I heated the rivets, then chiseled the heads off with an air hammer. Installed the new spring perch with grade 8 bolts. Not a big deal. Hope this helps.
