Hi All,
I need a suggestion. I have an 83 Chevy van. I noticed today that the drivers side leaf spring hanger/pocket has rusted through. It is the rear hanger. The problem is the pocket/hanger is welded to the frame and appears to also be part of the body (actually welded with cross-members to the body. I have hit a few welding fab shops and a few body shops and no body is interested as it is more work then they are interested in doing (their admission). Any suggestions, I hate to have to junk the van as it runs like a top and even though I do weld I do not feel comfortable welding structural parts on a suspension.
Thanks,
mark
