Wow, thankyou for the great information. I bought the shop manual and downloaded the other 2. Ya all are terrific!
I wont get a good look at much of the frame until i remove the cab. The frame was damaged in a front end collision, so the two front rails are out of specification.The problem was exacerbated, when the bumper mount holes were enlarged with a plasma cutter. The rear rail also require work due to the “custom” hitch created piece by piece. It can be repaired. However, if i can find a clean frame, i can better control the costs.
