HOW CAN THE FRAME OF MY TRUCK RUST OUT FASTER THAN THE BED OR CAB. THE CAB MOUNTS ARE GONE. THE SHACKLES OF THE LEAF SPRINGS ARE PAPER THIN AND READY TO COLLAPSE. WHEN I DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD AND HIT A BUMP IT SOUNDS LIKE THE CAB IS GOING FALL TO THE GROUND. I AM AFRAID ONE OF THESE DAYS , I'LL GET IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE ENTIRE CAB IS GOING TO FLY OFF THE TRUCK. THE MOTOR HAS OUTLASTED THE FRAME. MAKE LAUGH.
