    Made some nice shafts last weekend out of six shafts, got some nice tight splines by mix and matching, CBC bearings had in stock universals at $20 each, some new boots from series one shop and some old black paint, new shafts for less than $70 each

    I guess you have a few options.

    Cut out the rust & patch it.

    Make a new one, Chazza on the forum has done this and details were on the forum somewhere (I think).

    Find someone with a chassis that you can cut one off. I struggled a few years ago to give away an 86" chassis that only had surface rust.

    Buy a reproduction from the UK but the early stuff is expensive PSK 3639 - Rear Crossmember with 10" extensions and spring hangers, 1954 to 1958

    Cheers Charlie

    PS Keep it as original as you can; prices are rising!

    The defining bit for recognising Series 1 is the rounded corners each side of the wide bit in the middle. That one is Series 2/2a/3 civilian.
