I did actually. Both shock mounts have been rewelded already. It's no joke up here.

 

Honestly I'd heavily consider it. They are going to be gone in a couple years on mine.

 

There is someone that makes a repair sections and oem style looking mounts too!

But if everything else around it is rusty how long is that going to last.

Look at this link you will see what I mean. He also sales the shock tabs separate.

Rear Fuel Tank Support Crossmember for Chevrolet Silverado or GMC Sierra 1500 | eBay

 

Yeah I have actually looked at the replacements, right now I'm just going to ride it out and keep an eye on it at this point.

 

If that ever happens to me I am going to do a fuel cell in the back with a shock relocation and a single chromoly shock mount. Should drop a few lbs while I am at it. Luckilt mine is not that bad and I think it can be saved.

 

Ultimately mine isn't nearly as bad as it looks, I may end up doing one of the crossmembers, but the gas tank support is solid.

 

How is the under side of the bed and body?

 

...why I won't buy a ride from the Northeast.

 

Bed and fenders are surprisingly good considering it's a z71 and has the fender flares. Rockers aren't pretty but that's not surprising.

 

So where do you guys have your heat exchanger tank/pump? I mounted the tank to the relay box and was going to try mounting the pump in the tvs location since I technically have that pump and that reservoir, but the pump outlet seems to come out directly behind the headlight mounting panel.
