Consumer Description

IN 2009 THE BRACKETS CONNECTED TO THE FRAME THAT HELD UP GAS TANK DETERIORATED AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED TO PREVENT THE TANK FROM FALLING OFF THE TRUCK. SOON AFTER THAT REPAIR WORK WAS DONE TO LEAF SPRING BRACKETS WHICH HAD RUSTED OFF THE FRAME. IN 2010,THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN IN FOR ANNUAL INSPECTION, IT COULD NOT PASS BECAUSE THE FRAME WAS TOO RUSTED AND LIKELY TO BREAK AT ANY TIME, THIS TRUCK HAS ALWAYS HAD ALL MAINTENANCE NEEDED WHEN SCHEDULED AND FROM THE EXTERIOR, IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, BUT CONSIDERED TO BE UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND BE ON THE ROADS.
