On my truck it is not the main rear cross member that is rusted through on one side, it is a sub-member to which the charcoal canister/boxes are attached for the evaporative loss system located just behind the spare tire under the truck bed. The rear shocks pass through the sub-member and attach above. So I am going to shave the rivets and take out the sub-member to see if i can repair/weld or otherwise fabricate the sub-member and reinstall it. The sub-member used to be an available part but has been discontinued. Otherwise my rear suspension is fine, just time for new shocks and vertical links after years of good service. This has been a working truck, not just a commuter. Great vehicle.</p></blockquote><p></p>
