chassis diagram please

can someone post a chassis diagram that points out all parts and crossmember numbers etc?

And where is the best place to get replacement, weld-in parts for a rusted frame?

Thanks

I think you'll find what you need in either the repair or assembly manuals.

I've looked my fair share, but I am still unsure what exactly the #3 crossmember is. I am looking for a replacement for the crossmember right before the diff. Noob sorry.

The crossmember directly in front of the diff is the #3 one, right where the frame rails kick up and over the rear end. Really check your side rails and endcaps in that area also. Mine rusted out there on the passenger side and I've read this is really common due to the endcap drain holes getting plugged up.
