Title: Truck frame repair
Post by: Hilltophustler on December 03, 2019, 06:03:03 PM: Just starting to explore options. Long story short I had my little project truck up on the rack and happened to notice a section of the frame looked funny. Upon further inspection found this section to be soft and rusted out. Anyone on here do that kind of work? Or know someone that does? I have a parts truck but that frame is even worse. Thanks in advance

I thought some of the Tundras had a recall for this.
