I don't know if there is a weld on repair for the rwd. I know that the bolt on braces are available for 2 and 4wd.

My ? Is is my r10 frame the same as k10,k20?

For 2wd frames, I'd just weld the crack up and use both the Ridetech braces and the ORD or Autofab braces. The ridetech triangulates the entire front end and supports the rear steering box bolts while the others reinforce the front two. I'd also drill out the rivets on the front crossmember and install bolts. If you do all this, you should never have a problem again.

R10. We welded a K-brace across to the other frame rail using 1" square tube. It helps prevent the twisting that cracks the frame.
