jeff Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Well I noticed some frame rot on my truck between the leaf and cab a few weeks ago and considered scraping the truck. I love the truck but I have no idea what it would cost to have it fixed. My truck is in pretty rough shape and just a base model 2wd. I'm told can make it to winter the way it is. I guess I'm asking if its a hard task to weld the frame up and how to go about doing it. Would it require me to remove my bed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimoshel Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Frames are made from metal. Metal can be cut and welded. The question is 'do you have the time, money, know how to do it? Removing the bed is advisable. Make it easier to access the work area and better inspect the frame. Many years ago I replaced the frame under a 1962 Corvair station wagon using 2X3 tubing. I felt the S/W was rare enough to make it worth the trouble. If it had been a sedan I wouldn't have bothered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirteatr717 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Do not dare scrap a MJ unless it is wrecked beyond recognition, cut out the bad weld in new metal :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
