Check the bottom side of the frame under where your feet are when driving, the area the fuel tank straps bolt to and the front crossmember where the tow points are. You may find there's more cancer than you thought.

Thanks for the advice. The rest of the frame is in great condition, my thought is that the drain holes got covered and it just ate away at that crossmember. Do you have a link to your repair? I was going to search for it but you have a lot of posts..
