Consumer Description

Extensive rust on the frame, barely holding together. This caused the drive shaft to shake and break the differential. Even if the differential would not have broken the truck was not road worthy. It could have broke in half at any second. No reputable body shop would even attempt to fix it. No warnings or symptoms until a snow plow was hooked up again last winter and the weight of it bent the fragile frame. Countless accounts of frame and undercarriage rust for Chevy and GMC trucks from 2006-2013.
