western Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 a chat with Marsland or Richard Chassis may get a result, haven't seen that section on sale anywhere as a repair part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 You can buy a decent complete RR chassis for a pint of beer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landkeeper Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 You can buy a decent complete RR chassis for a pint of beer indeed you can but, this guy is a bit of a perfectionist he wants to keep the origional chassis as here(R.O.I) the chassis is the vehicle and as it is a pre 79 chassis he wants to use this one but need to repair it funnily enough that x member is the only rusty part of the whole chassis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_d Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I would have thought it fairly simple to fold up a new section or patch from sheet. There are no special pressed formings to it. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 woops Why whoops? Cut off the a-frame x-member and weld it on if you're being purist about it, or rebuild the truck on a replacement chassis if you're not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
