Spring mounts broken or is the frame rusted through? I have some pretty serious rust through on my rear frame maember where the bolts go through. I found that several places offer a rear frame section to fix it tho.

Hi there, If you send me a private message I could maybe email you one of my kits that I have been selling to a few people. No quite sure where you are located. But I own a Restoration / Custom shop and I have fixed many rotten out rear section, or have replacements in stock off other cars.

I will send you an email, everything is made to length you supply this way it is proper.

Last week I made a bolt in application and it worked !!!!! I was shocked.

But weld in is always better, from a restoration aspect.

This subject makes me curious. The 60 I own hasn't been driven since 1979 and had sit without an engine for most of its life (5 engines by 1979 I was told).

Several years ago I put a Maverick rear axle under the car and was surprised to see the the rear sub frame had rotted through on the driver's side. The rot is up in the hump over the rear axle. That seems odd as water would not collect in that area.

Have any of you seen the same rust out in that area?

Well not that odd because most not all people check that area, it is more common than you think. Reason why, could not tell you, but it is also most common for this to happen on the drivers side. This is only for me seeing it myself with alot of the Falcons that I do.

Thanks for the confrimation. Simply doesn't seem possible to rot out where water isn't being trapped, especially on a car that has been sitting and not being driven.

Have to add this to my list of Ford rust problems (Ford's frames of the late 30's/pre-war rot out on the driver's side just in front of the rear axle hump, etc.)

Curious as to why you are "texting" on the internet. We are allowed to us words here.

LOL!
