Looks pretty nasty under there. Didn't need the screwdriver test on this lol.
Gonna change that whole piece to where the metal is solid. Gotta put in a brace just for good measure before I finish cutting the old stuff out.

Out with the old

Thanks Rick, this side is much easier then the other side was. Here is the donor piece all sized up, cleaned and ready to install.

Ok...........me n the ole girl are happy again.
It just kinda pisses me off that I can't get at all the welds to grind them, but they are up inside the spring pocket anyway so no biggie.

Oh ya I almost forget..........I gotta start thinkin about what color to paint the underneath. I do want the subframe, rear frame rails, leaf springs and rear end housing POR-15 gloss black. I was thinkin about the rest the same color as car, comp. yellow, But I don't know how that would hold up. I have read threads about this but am still undecided??????????? Any ideas????

Now let me see...............what's next?

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa Hooooooooooooooo I just love taking new parts out of the attic, especially when they will not go back up there!!!  
Maybe work on the trunk floor alittle tonight, see what happens.
