Angry Cross Member Blues...

my cross members seem a bit rusty. i might be able to clean them
up with some sanding but the rear is the worst. can i just rebuild
my own and bolt them on or do i have to get a doner truck to take
them from. i do not see anyone making replacements at all on line
for my old 79.


What are my options.

1979 F-150 4X4 shortbox
Thanks.

If you have the ability to make them, just make some. This will not be a problem.
