Consumer Description

SEVERE RUST ENTIRE BACK HALF OF TRUCK. FIRST THE SPARE TIRE FELL OFF WHILE DRIVING AND THE EVAP CANISTER WAS BROKEN. THE BED ROTTED OUT AND MY GAS TANK WAS IN DANGER OF FALLING OFF. THE CROSS MEMBERS BROKE WHILE DRIVING ON A TOWN DIRT ROAD CAUSING THE CROSS MEMBER TO RUB AGAINST THE DRIVE SHAFT. I HAD TO USE A CARGO STRAP TO HOLD UP THE GAS TANK SO I COULD GET HOME WHICH LUCKILY WAS ONLY ABOUT A MILE.
