And if found they would be a direct replacement and take car of my rear frame rail problem?? certainly be easier than back having the car i would think.
Its funny you mention that as before i went i was searching for tips on how to evaluate an older car and i did in fact bring a magnet. When started going over it the owner was very upfront and pointed out the two spots that had some type of fuller material. and i think i found another on the one pass side door.
I was expecting that because of the price tag and that's a minor problem in my mind compared to the frame rails in the rear

Lol... I'm yelling because the comp engineering rails come up a lot for use in 2nd gens and I always end up posting the same things. Moving the springs inboard (which is required) is in the fine print for that product.
70-81 F-bodies should all have the same rear frame sections. If the entire rails aren't rusty you can just replace a section. Replacing entire rails are a big deal.
