    Back to the rear frame rail idea. Is there actually enough holding that piece to the rest of the car to support the spring and it's loads? Just seems like replacing the whole thing would be what should be considered.. fordmaster does have them..I think that's what he said..

    For some reason, the post got caught in the spam filter.

    Yes I still have a set of frame rails. The entire rear sub frame with trunk floor out of a 72.
