I have started the rear frame replacement on a '99 4x4 supercab. A bit of work but needed done.


old frame with most everything detached at this point working on rivets

 

Previous owner tried some crappy patching. But as you can see by the holes it is past the patch stage IMHO.

 

Donor frame section. Not new but solid. New rear hangers and shackles mounted. New front hangers on order.

 

Nice. I don't think I could handle a project this in-depth.

What paint & rust treatment did you use? I did that rust conversion/sealant crap with a top coat of tractor paint to my frame a couple weeks ago. I wanted to POR 15 the whole thing but I just didn't have the time. Needed to complete all my repairs and get new tires before snow.

 

I prepped the frame, cleaned it, used Rustoleum heavy rust primer, then two coats of Rustoleum. Once reassembled I will have the undercarriage oil undercoated yearly.

 

New rear hangers and shackles.

 

New front hangers.

 

Replacement frame section going on.
