Default 1998 b1500 bad frame

Does anyone make a aftermarket frame for these? I find companies that make them for 2000 and up...any other frame that would work? My old 1990 b1500 has a good frame but body about gone. What year did they stop making the good frames? Thanks for your help.

You say the frame is bad, then you say the frame is good and the body is "about gone". Which is it?

Front frame replacements can be done with wrecker parts.

(Start at the bottom and work your way up)

I spent a day scraping and repainting the frame on my van after seeing this...the battery drips acid on the steering box mounts and ruins the whole area.
