The rust makes it trendy. (1984 mazda b2000)

full custom frame + bags = win

That rust on the front looks about right where you'd Z it to lay full frame, then a full custom back half and youd be in it to win it.

Ah that rust is nasty, ain't making it so trendy anymore

Man that sucks!

I had a feeling there might be some rust under there.

Custom frame!

you guys dont think that could be fixed? what if i cut out rust, and then like a thick piece of sheet metal underneath and then tack in the sides?

[Nick475]

mad max, got any more info on that truck?

If those are the only places on the frame with rust, then it's repairable.
But I would suggest cutting it all off, and just fab a new frame so you can get as low as possible...
The truck's not worth much, so you might as well have some fun with it.

damn, i was hoping for an epic build, just get a custom c notch frame then bag it

It's definitely repairable.... you'll just end up chasing it with a welder for as long as you own it.

Its yet another truck from NZ! I believe the guy who originally built it is on www.oldschool.co.nz but I havn't had any luck finding the build thread.

[Nick475]

haha damn. doin trucks right over there

[btober]

haha had to look click on this bc of the title haha thumbs up for that one

[MommysLittleMonster]

boo. lots of frame rust. debating whether to keep this or not now...

That entire frame is compromised.

Send it to the crusher, or get rid of it- it will never be truly "fixed" short of getting a different frame. If the frame is already falling apart in these places, imagine how thin it must be in the places you can't see.

Here's an exercise- take an ice pick, and jab as hard as you can down the entire length of the frame. See how many times it pokes through. If you have a section longer than 6" (which I can already see), the frame isn't worth anything.
