Your rear shock tower looks wallowed out, and may be missing its bushings and the centre washer, I'd fix that asap if so, maybe its bad lighting in the picture making it look worse than it is.

Thanks for that. Yeah was going to take a look at everything now and not even sure why that shock boot was ripped down like that.

Appreciate everyone's feedback!

Good to see you got it fixed up. :-) Yes definitely paint anything you weld as the welds always change the metal enough that rust at the weld beads. Its just how it is. For some reason your second photo was a pdf instead of a jpeg but I did see it. Most likely being the photo too big for the forum. On my photo posts. I use a cell phone app called tapatalk that will connect into the forum and actually resize the photos for you when you post. Its the easiest way to do it. :-)

If your shock plate hole gets too big have them weld a washer in there. As the rust belt is just hard on the steel in this part of the world. :-)

Got it! And yes, the 2nd photo would attach and I kept getting error messages so I just sent a pdf format. Will use TapTalk more often.

Well, unfotunately the weld didn't hold. Went to check up on this during the week and saw the control arm just hanging there.

Might try inserting a pipe and welding or scraping the truck.

What would you guys do?

I used the above mentioned Lower Control Arm mount frame sleeve on my 97 and it’s was worth every penny.

I clean out the pipe slide a steel thick gas pipe though and weld it into place. I also fill it with fluid film and seal it off. I cap off those tubes to save the new replacement pipe.

With a replacement pipe in there. You can weld the thin old pipe rusted through areas up and grind smooth.

If you want to keep it. I clean that stuff up especially those coil plates and coat and try to slow the rust down...

Damn I'm glad I don't live in the rust belt. That said apparently CDOT switched over to some pretty caustic stuff a few years ago for the roads out here. My goal atm is to be extremely diligent about washing off the frame asap when I offroad anywhere with mud snow and anytime I think I might have driven on salted roads. Will probably also do the fluidfilm treatment as well.

The bracket is still decent. So just put it in place. Use the steel gas tube and weld it back on. :-)

Be good for a while. You can even drill and bolt it back on then weld too.

I have had them even rust off the axle housing... :/

I just wanted to add on how to fix from my previous comment. :-) Hope this helps.

The reason the weld didn't hold is nothing is left on that area of the pipe is all.

I have one that did that .. :-)
