Broken 10 wheeler frame

admin

Looked at this job today the frame was cracked from behind cab all the way to the end. I see a lot of this with old double  frame trucks rust gets between the frames and blows them apart.I passed on this job the trucks not worth fixing

Reply:You have to love road cancer. I have had to repair several 5th wheel mounting rails because of the salt as well.
Reply:Im with Tozzi on that as well. I recently looked at a 80ton dump truck with the same problem. I told the guy the same thing. He recently got pinched for something tho, cough cough  so I'm waiting to hear back from him when he, cough cough, gets back to work. I was never here.

Reply:I will never touch that. To much liability. some times its better to find a truck blown up and swap your motor or a cab and  chassis.everybody starts somewhere.
