Guys,

I need to replace/repair some frame rail portions on my 69 Coronet. See green circled areas in attached pic...

The rear rails are shot about the last 12 inches on both sides, the one that runs left to right under the passenger side door towards the drive shaft is a steaming pile of crap for about 18 inches and needs to be replaced and probably a few more spots here and there.

I also need the circled leaf spring bracket as it's pretty shot, don't suppose anyone is fabricating these?

Is there somewhere I can source these smaller sections of rail without having to resort to buying the full lengths?

Id suggest you make these peices yourself, Just like caps- thick steel bent and mig weld into place much cheaper and just as strong.
 
How about these!

There you go, almost everything you need, just by being involved with the best forum on the internet!
 
You blokes are pretty awesome......but I've already ordered the parts from Auto rust Tech, in fact I did it via Paypal about 2 minutes before I checked into this site yesterday and got your message, Matt. So typical of my luck. I'm lucky enough to have an aussie mate in VA who is looking after getting it all back for me.
I went for the entire torsion bar frame rail so may not need the safe-T cap pictured above (is it for my top right circled area at the junction of the torsion bar frame rail and the rail that heads forward to the K frame?) but I may do, and will keep it in mind.

Thanks for keeping me in mind guys, it's good to know that there are blokes half way across the world prepared to help a fellow B body man out! What this site is all about I reckon!!
