She has definately had a hard life
 That chassis is a mess Personally I would look for another chassis. F15A and add the double rail at rear and transfer winch mounts and assorted bits

I agree with AJ. I was hoping you just had some small cracks that were easy fixed. It looks like you might need some new spring hangers as well as the repairs. Good luck you have a lot of work there. The MB-F1 recomends hot riveting chanel or angle reinforcing behind the weld and welding the outside edges together.

Replacement Chassis
Jason,
See how you go with the source Lionel provided, and if no good there, let me know. I may have another source for you, but it is signifigantly further away from Toowoomba. Not far from Gladstone, in fact. I would need to speak with the guy first, to find out that he would actually sell a chassis, but it is certainly a possibility.

I phoned today and was quoted over $1000 for a bare chassis becouse they would have to strip it out and i have to pay for the striped chassie i could get a whole truck for that .

Jason,
I have sent an email to a fellow I know who could possibly have a chassis that suits. It's a long bow, but worth a shot! You will be up for a drive of about 5 hrs one way if he has something worthwhile. I should get a reply early in the working week.

Yes it was and their is no bargains at that place, but for me to pay them to strip it was just crap.

Any hour of labour in Australia is dear that is why most of our manufacturing is done overseas. You would be paying for someone's wage unless you came and did it yourself. What was the whole thing worth unstripped? It might have cheaper and given you some extra parts you might need down the road as you would still have to transport something the size of a chassis home anyway  Kind Regards Lionel
