Rear leaf spring shackle mounts

[Duster2022!]

I just recently picked up a 1974 duster, as I’m getting into this project I have found some rust holes in the rear leaf spring shackle mounts. I have attached some pictures. I am wondering if I should replace these? And if I should replace these do they sell these? And are they hard to install? The frame rail is fine on both sides. It is just the amount that has rusted

Looks like a Weld on part? Have you done it before? Curious how complicated? Can’t find any videos online

Have never done them, but it's definitely a weld on part. Looks like you remove the old box and clean the rust off the frame then slide this piece over it. On a scale of 1 to 10, it's probably about a 5 in the difficulty dept.

Cool thanks

Cool thanks

How does the trunk pan look above that point?

There's a company called Sherman that sells auto collision repair stuff and makes vehicle specific pieces to fit OVER compromised frame elements to restore integrity, you might try them...

Sometimes you just have to get creative...

I can tell you this. No matter how big you think the rusted area is, it's two or three times that size. Wait till you get to cutting on it. You'll see.

I don’t have a back piece like that to bolt to on my 74 Duster

This is what you need. You will have to remove yours and weld this one in. They sell left and right.
