Depens on HOW rusted out it is. Can you post up pictures? Do you have access to a welder?

dont hav a camera to show u at the moment , but its like a hole the size of a marble maybe just a lil bigger , & its right behind the front tire where it bends up to go to the engine bay , the only thing that sux is the person who had it be4 me musta jacked it up on the frame couse it split about 5 inches away from the hole n it cracked about 2/3 across the rail , i gotta see if i can get a pic on here of it ... i was thinkin of havin my friends dad weld the **** outa it but i would rather find a way to install another 1, & both rails are the same , except the drivers side couse of the crack
