Ever heard of a cracked floor???

I think that is fiberglass, or plastic of some sort, nothing to rust.
I do not know what it was that busted up, but an OO I know bought a new slope nosed pete and tried to run it up here. All I know is the cab busted up and Pete has been furnishing him a mew truck for over a year now, while the lawsuit is pending.

 

pay a few dollors and do a rigdig

 

I know three people just here in town that have had the floor break out on them. Doubt that Paccar would say there was/is a problem.

 

can someone "enlighten" me on this as well...??

is the cab of that truck fiberglass..????

the o/p never said he bought a used truck, maybe he has had it since new?

if metal, could it be thinner metal (to cut down on weight)?

if fiberglass, wouldn't there have already been thicker "gussets" or flanges?

as someone else mentioned, that truck could have taken a very serious bump, but in all my years, i ain't never seen that sort of issue before.

 

A lot of floors are a combination of aluminum and fiberglass.

No the sky isnt falling. I could fab up something to repair that in under a day if that was my truck. If you cant tackle the job yourself, go to a shop that welds and fabricates. They will make up a plate for you

 

The floor is made out of SMC (Sheet Molding Compound) and plywood, you can’t weld it.

The solution to the problem is to repair the floor using the correct SMC materials and approved repair procedure.

 

iI wouldnt attempt welding were it went through fella. Thats not my solution.
