rear frame rail rot A body

i am sure others have encounter this about a foot from bumper on drivers side has any one develop a patch as before i make one maybe someone has ? as its not totally strate in this area Thanks

 

I have seen it several times. There is nobody making patches. You will need to find a frame section to be welded in.

 

Yea was afraid of that so just going to make-up some brace that i can bolt as eventually will change chassis in mean time just to keep bumper even as there is other rot up stream Thanks

 

If you need to build a frame I have a real nice Oklahoma frame here in Kansas .. Not sure where you are located however.

 

Thanks i am in NY on LI i did / as someone pointed out i did not have my location but did added it were i thought it would go in profile and heres where it gets more important its a convertible i learned that wen i had to shore-up the ends of the trans. cross member thanks again

 

There are different sellers on eBay that sell frame sections. You can do a search and see if someone has that section. Look up Chevelle frame,or GM A-body frame.

 

Thanks i did search ebay to see if someone make a fix !? and saw sections of frame to splice in but not into taking the tank out to weld so will make up a bolt on brace so bumper will hang strate this seem to be a common problem !! i remember that years ago on a 66 lemans i bought to paint & sell i think i was able to pull it back & put metal in side & a brace on outside but thanks again

 

Not sure if he still has it or not but in worst case:

Thanks as this was in my area i did write but notice how old the AD was there should be away of taking down sold items as this is the second one i answered after the guy got back & then saw how old it was

 

The OPs can delete spent ads. If they do not, the mods do not have the info or the time to police this. I always look at the dates of the last posts in a thread as a way to avoid resurrections.

 

Have some 68 to 72 frame sections. Southern New Mexico location. Dave S.

 

Anyone have a picture of what the rear frame rail is supposed to look like? Mine was hit in rear 30 years ago.

 

I have two very nice rust-free frames,if anyone needs a whole frame.
