Porno vs Rusted Frames

Can you post a few pictures? That might help get some commentary. Also, a
few of the folks who have the most experience with rusted frames seem to be
pretty busy. Scott Nehoda is one of the resident experts on rusted frames.
But then, so are a few of the other folks who replaced rails. Scott came up
with a relativly inexpensive way of fixing the side rails.

Which pieces do you need? There are a few coaches being parted out that
appear to have good frames and rear boogies. That may be a simpler way of
repairing your coach.

GMCers
Maybe Glenn has stumbled on something here...and I'm not
suggesting the stumble is from big feet......What is the 'Real"
purpose of this information venue.

We end up discussing porno, which is -everywhere- and there isn't
a damn thing we can do about it, when we should be discussing
GMC's which are -few and far between-, and there IS something we
can do about Them !

Priorities, me thinks. A man in trouble is a man in need of the
GMCnetters. A man with Frame Rust is a man in serious
excrement !
Just my .02 worth (actually .03 with exchange)

hahaha Your right of coarse. Trouble is, I ain't got no problem with
a rusty frame and don't have any experiance fixin it. If I did though
(here goes nutin') I'd do sorta like Scott Nehoda did. I'd find a local
fabricator and get him to shear and break me the steel to replace the
rusted sections of frame. I'd probably get a long piece of 6" or 8" H-beam
to slide under the existing frame and weld registers (1/4" x 4" x 4" angle
iron x 6" or 8" or so) to it and to the frame to hold the frame from moving
while I got rid of the cancerous portion. I'd then weld in the replacement
section exactly where the old one was removed from. I'd also use scab
plates over the weld joint and be sure not to make a continuous weld all
the way across the new frame. I'd use ASME7018 welding rod and be sure
that the steel was mild 60k# tensile A36.

I'd do all the welding before I cut the frame off the H-beam. This ain't
no job for a weak stomach. Be sure and have a fully qualified welder do
the work. Steel does strange things when locally heated to 5000 degrees,
and you gotta be ready and allow or it.

Like I said, I haven't been there and hope I never do, but I think this is
what I'd do.

Hope it helps.

That might get exciting in a hurry!

Good point
