I just grabbed a pic of the ugliness. I wonder if this was done when he had it worked on 15 years ago, the welds are not rusted at all. Definitely going in the trash can. I am sure the brakes are maladjusted too, but one hurdle at a time. I am up in Tennessee in November and will be stopping by third-gen to get the clevises and a lot of smalls that will add up to a big pile of new parts and pieces.
