G. that link is exactly what I'm going through (as have countless others). Wreckermans post mirrors my feelings exactly! I've spent the better part of my adult life fighting with worn out junk and fully understand the gratification that comes from defeating the enemy that is age and rust. After...
Thanks Doghead. I'll probably go ahead and order a set.
Thanks NY Tom, I appreciate the advice but I'm way beyond that! Hammer and punch, torch and hydraulic press. The only thing I haven't tried yet is breaking a few drill bits off in the hinge. I'm at the point where my time is becoming...

Couple more pics of the damage.
Only picture I've got so far. I'll try to get more tomorrow. Rear transfer case cross member from above. No comments about the paint job.... bought it this way!
So, I'm a new deuce owner with several mangled frame cross members. The truck began life as an M764, but has been highly modified (prior to me buying it). Currently she is set up with a dump bed. The rear transfer case cross member is the worst by far, the front t-case member is iffy, and the...
