Default Re: 97 4.0 Bringing new life. And spine.

frame swap seems like the best option but it is a tooooooonnnn of work if you do decide to take that path, be ready for some bumps in the roads haha. you know what? that rot was similar to my old 89 chevy i had and what i ended up doing was going to a junkyard and having the guys cut a junkers frame in half, give my the whole rear section and i had brought it to a welder friend of mine and he welded up the rear for me, fish plated it and it was good. i would only suggest this if your front half is not weakened. oh i also used my chevy as a plow truck so there was always unique stress on the frame, and it never budged but do what ya want im just giving some options :P
