Consumer Description

THE FRAME RAIL ON THE LEFT SIDE IS BROKEN IN 2 PLACES UNDER THE CAB AREA. THE FRAME BROKE WHILE DRIVING. NOW THE CAB SAGS 1 IN LOWER WHERE THE CAB MEETS THE BOX. BODY LINES NO LONGER MATCH UP. THERE IS NO REASON A 18 YR OLD TRUCK WITH A MINT CONDITION BODY AND ONLY DRIVEN APPROX 17500 KM PER YEAR SHOULD BREAK THE WAY IT DID. THIS PERFECTLY GOOD STEP SIDE TRUCK IS NOW USELESS AND COMPLETELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE.
