Frame parts for 1st gen

Does anyone know of any good sites that have replacement frame parts? The passenger side cab support is rotting out and I would like to replace it. If not, any other good ideas?

I think it`s time to break out the welder, as far as I know nobody makes frame repair stuff. Maybe you could have a boneyard chop em off a junker(gas or diesel, I think they are the same) for ya and get em welded in?

I had that problem, I stopped by my local fabricating shop and my buddy
went underneath to measure and sketch the parts.
He made me four new mounts for about 200 bucks.

yup, make them.

Looks like a piece of 1/4 flat and a short piece of channel iron (or some more flat with gussets) would work good and be better than the origionals.
