Well, it is not good news. I had the truck in this morning getting new exhaust. I was able to look under at the frame. Right at the rear shackle where the leaf spring connects to the frame it is rusted pretty thin and the frame buckled right there. The rest of the frame seems pretty solid. I am hoping when I pull the bed off and can straighten it at that shackle and weld in a piece of reinforcement. I just had a fairly heavy load of concrete on the truck over the weekend. The so called straw that broke the camels back.
