Hey guy, frame opinion...

Well the area where the torsion bar section and frame rail intersect is completly gone in my case, also has holes in that rail too, the drive side is good but with out a passenger side what is it worth? Nothing in my opinon. Rear frame rails have a dozen holes in them due to the salt eating away at it. Re caping or double walling the frame is only nessicary (SP) if you are putting a powerful engine in it that can twist the chassis.

Its only my opinion, but, in the long run I believe that it would be less expensive (not to mention safer) to buy a good donor car and build one car out of the two. Personally I wouldn't want to be driving down the road at around 70mph (or more... not that I do too often) and have my fabricated torsion bar anchors let loose or the rearend springs break away from fabricated perches (lawsuits and liability). Its great that you have the ambition and guts to attach the job, but, safety and liability should be a consideration.

I read somewhere on one of the MOPAR sites where recently someone from the USA was exporting a truck to Canada and wasn't allowed to because of suspension mods. Maybe you should also look/check with authorities if what you're planning on doing is legal before you spend anymore money or time
