About LinkBacksI started restoring my 49 chevy 1/2 ton pickup a few years ago so first off there was a few badly rusted out frame parts that needed replacing
here is 1 of the jigs I made to form one of the cross members

Never try to tell me it can't be done

Nice job Frank! It's amzing what can be done with some scrap and a little ingenuity! What gauge steel are you working with?

Mark I used 3/16" ASTM grade 50 for the cross member, which is slightly thicker than the factory 9 ga and a slightly higher yield strength

for some parts of the cross members I used 6x4x3/16" grade A500 steel tubing
this particular part of the cross member was made from the tubing split lengthwise then placed in the jig then formed with heat and a hammer
see the following thread for how I split the tubing
