Consumer Description

WENT TO REAR OF TRUCK AND FOUND BUMPER HAD BROKEN FREE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. LOOKED UNDER THE TUCK AND FOUND THAT THE ENTIRE FRAME IN THE REAR IS ROTTED AND THE LEAF SPRINGS ARE IN DANGER OF COMING COMPLETELY OFF. THE BUMPER IS ENTIRELY FREE FROM THE TRUCK. THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE FRAME DIRECTLY OVER THE TIRE IS CRACKED COMPLETELY THROUGH. THIS IS THE WORST FRAME I HAVE EVER SEEN AND HAVE LIVED THROUGH THE 70'S AMERICAN CAR MANUFACTURERS MESS. *TR
