I like that idea much better than replacing the entire thing. Looks like this thing might just be sticking around! Thanks a lot for your help

I just did some searching, I can't find anyone selling the pre fabbed plates for a link pin front end, only ball Joint. Looks like you might have to fab your own. Should be pretty easy.

That's all I found too. I have a buddy that does a lot of fab work. Ill have him make some plates and weld her up. Glad I don't have to replace the whole thing!

Well, I've come to the conclusion that its time to rip it down to the frame and start over. Gonna go over the welds, re paint, do some head work and get the trans redone. Will also take care of some other odds and ends. Hoping to have it finished and legal next spring. Parts are on order. I shall commence the ripping apart this week! Here goes nothing.
