But I'm guessing he's talking about these:

This is a photo I just went outside and shot of my truck. Not a spot of rust!

 

these guys claim to sell new chassis.... perhaps they can sell you just a piece of one, before it gets welded on... worth a call anyway.

Richards Chassis

Or call a salvage yard. D2 don't rust as much as D1 did... or at least they haven't yet. I'm sure they'd cut a couple out for you... else they'd probably just go to the crusher to be recycled.

 

yes thats what i want in the picture but the next one back cheers for your help .

 

Go to a salvage yard or call Paul Grant, number in my classified section, he should have one.

 

DIIs rust much more than DIs. Many believe this is due to their hydro-formed chassis.

 

why does hydroforming cause more rust issues?

 

I'm not sure, I don't know much about it. It is possible they used a cheaper steel when they made the chassis. But I've seen tons of DIs and tons of DIIs, for their age DIIs have much more rust.
