It was brought to my attention that our vehicles (‘52-‘59 FFPW) actually have a frame inside a frame - 2 c channels nested together and that back when they were built had no rust preventative in place. Mine look to be solid and intact and being California trucks were most likely not subjected to as harsh conditions as some of you have. Therefore I’m not that keen on taking the frames apart just to have a look. Is there any way to test the integrity of the inner parts? I’m planning on a 4BTA swap and don’t know what the weight difference is (if any). These trucks will be used for primarily for city driving, maybe some highway for occasional camping trip in the mountains but no rock crawling. Thanks
