    All running and driving, mostly stock, all in various states of rust rehab from Michigan winters
    That's about I'm line with the three I have and fixed with Safe-T-Caps. Check under the cab as well as the insides of the boxed frame like to get soft as well.

    Safe-T-Caps definitely looks like the right way to fix it, ordered them for the drivers side. The rest of the frame is in good shape just needs to be vacuumed out, I will try the Eastwood internal frame coating.

    I would too if one was available in my area, still a future option I will keep looking. Rust is all cut out now, sand blasted to bare metal and Safe-T-caps welded on.
