4 people can easily lift and sj body off the chassis.

Where exactly is the welding needed, i have done most of the hard parts just by raising the body 6" off the chassis and placing it on blocks of wood between the chassis and body.

I may be wrong but I believe corrosion is subject
To mot testers opinion.

So if they feel its safe its able to pass.

How bad is the rot and where?
