Consumer Description

THERE IS A LOT OF FRAME RUST ON MY TRUCK. ESPECIALLY WHERE THE FRAME CONNECTS TO THE BED. I HAD TO REPLACE BOTH THE REAR SPRING SHACKLE BRACKETS, BOTH BROKE OFF BECAUSE OF RUST. TWICE THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE BRAKE LINE, LUCKILY I SAW THIS WHEN THE CAR WAS PARKED AND NOW WHILE I WAS DRIVING WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS. THE REAR BUMPERS PAINT HAS PEELED OFF AND THE NOW IS VERY RUSTY AND IT COULD FALL OFF AT ANYTIME. *TR
