Truck is a 1999 K1500 Suburban with 298K miles. I replaced all of my brake lines this past weekend and saw more rust than expected on the back half of the frame along with rear leaf hanger area. Is this repairable? I love the truck and still have a bunch of new parts around to install as well as a 383, but I'm wondering if it's worth the time and effort if the frame is shot. No real issues on the front half.
Here are some pics. The frame brace looks to be pretty bad and much worse than anywhere else. Almost like a sacrificial anode on a boat.
The hole at the bottom is where I pushing on it with my thumb and it went through the lower hanger. Yikes.
