Looking at the pics on here, it seems the frame is cracked right above the ladder bar bracket...

You're right, Mitch....good eye! Should be able to weld that up once you get it all apart.

There is a plate inside the frame there for the 2 attaching bolts for the ladder bar. I will be looking closely at that when I get it out, to see if it is going up into the frame radius and stressing it there, causing the crack. It could be the car was raced and run hard, it just doesn't seem likely with the 3.31 gears, but never say never.
I just "talked" with Chris White thru FB about his suggestion for body mounts. Of course, he would be looking for NOS, but I'm not in that position, so he suggested looking at In-line tube.
