Radius arm mount ripped off frame
Today on my 1986 f-150 4x4 the radius arm mount ripped in half and pulled out the frame.Every thing went forward.The frame has the bottom where the mount bolt is and 4 inches forward rotted out.Can i pull the rest of the mount off and the body mount and fish plate this or shall i retire the old girl?

Anything can be fixed with enough new steel and some welding. It just depends on your level of commitment, and how many other issues you'll dig up aswell.
