    Need some ideas besides my own on this. Ma always said two heads are better than one, in this case many. I picked this '86 Pete 362 up awhile back, drove it back to the farm, 200+ miles, runs well, '88 big cam 4, 9sp, typical fleet truck. Been fixing things as I find time, yeah right. Anyway, the rear frame rails are slightly bent from the 5th back. From the 5th forward they appear straight. Looks like someone dropped a loaded trailer and it twitched it about 3/4" to the right, with a slight crack in the right rail. Someone tried to cobb it up, as you can see. Looking for some ideas about repairing it @wore out , @AModelCat , @beastr123 . What do you guys think? What are the options? Can get new rails made from an outfit in VT, but big $$$....

    If about 10 of us called him asking about random freight and how do we collect a TONU fee from him when he screws us over on the load.

    Yep, I didn't realize this. Good in a way..
    Shows I've have a good run on collecting everything I deem due..

    Bad in a way.
    Shows I'm a dummy with some studying to do.. :evil3:
