The way you feel about that rusted truck is the same way doctors feel about failed lungs. Stop smoking. Also, stop smoking the right-wing conspiracy theories.
GM still takes the cheap way out and coats their frames in wax while Ford, Chrysler, Toyota and the rest use a costlier but way more effective e-coating on the frames to prevent rust. There are lots of videos about this on UA-cam.
@@SirLightsAlot As a GM master tech for 20 years I know how they are built. I have seen al makes and models do the same thing and they would also be junk at that point.
@SirLightsAlot Then please explain the Ford frame rot caused by there PROTECTIVE COATING holding water, salt and so forth against the frame allowing it to rust through. Do you research and look for Ford TSB concerning this problem. I'm waiting If you live in the rust belt, all makes and models do this!! I lived all 60 years of my life in the upper Midwest and spent 40 years as an automotive technician/ shop owner. Just ask me how I know this. As they say been there- done that.
Now they're using salt brine on the roads in the winter so you get hit by the salt every time it rains in the summer too. If you have ever noticed that the road looks like it has soap bubbles in the summer when it rains, that's salt brine !!!
One reason I live in the south, my 1954 panel truck, 1994 suburban and 2006 town and country have zero rust, the lowest milage is the t and c with 350 k and I have no intention of replacing any time soon. Actually, retired early by not making a car payment in over thirty years

@@jcanfixall1585 My old Caddy has 24yrs by the ocean. The windward side 😏 In one of the wettest area's of the country. And, it leaks, but it ain't Rusty. That's my job 😂 Never had a car or truck rust out here on me so far. And I saw man land on the Moon 😏 We use a lot of salt out here too, because it can get nasty. We are at the base of the Olympic Mountains.
I'd decline it too. The shackle is repairable, but the truck isn't safe to drive with a broken frame. I did that job in my driveway, but my frame was in better shape. My '02 Silverado didn't have a hole at all. I took the top bolt out and then jacked the spring up past the frame to get the too-long one out over the top. I live in Maine, and I replaced my first shackle in about 2014. Three years later I got rid of the truck. Looks like WI uses as much road salt in winter as we do. (Up here shocks, springs and exhaust only come apart with acetylene torches.)
@@AcmeRacing Said part is he Said he just bought it from a A guy claiming to be a mechanic. I found spots in the frame that had been previously welded And i'm sure you seen the hole. I told him before he left if you call this guy a friend You might want to reconsider that.
Pennsy is notorious too.. I've made a whole business of rust remediation , and I would have also advised him to go car-shopping. Its horribly bad when not one place ISN"T rotted. even the muffler had perforation.
If you live in the rust belt like me you should consider using high temp paint on the frame, as well as some form of undercoating under wheel wells, rocker panels,cab and the bed. Already did this to my truck as ive seen it happen way too many times to vehicles in my area, including my dads pickup.
Cheap steel from China this is how almost every truck frame looks like in states that have a winter. Shame on the automobile industry in America for doing this to all of us
Meh, I remember seeing plenty of rusted out cars and trucks when I was a kid in the 1970s and 1980s. My first car, a 1976 Mustang II, had rusted through fenders and quarter panels when I bought it in 1985, although the unibody frame lasted a little longer!
@@pat8988 I've seen in some cases.It actually make it worse Depending on coverage. On the other hand you can make a poor frame look pretty good If you're looking to get one over on someone.
Oregon has laws prohibiting salt use on public roads. Doesn't remove the problem in private lots but salt is nowhere near as bad of an issue here so rust is all natural, no accelerating promoters lol
I accidentally followed a brine truck and years later the rust damage to the front half my truck is crazy. 1 trip abot a km long in fresh brine and it did so much damage
God, how i miss "American Made," being synonymous with quality and durability. At the end of the quarterly report, Detroit is full of parts companies that have spent decades being jealous of the, not so humble, light bulb mafia. Sure they could spend a few extra dollars and coat the frame.... but then you would not buy a new truck every 3 to 5 years.

One day I stopped at K-Mart and heard a tinkle as I closed the car door. It was the tire iron falling out of a rust hole in the trunk. I started worrying about safety, and I'm still here today! 🙂
That looks pretty bad, I'm across the lake from you in Michigan and that looks like the bottom of my 86 Ford pickup. It's a shame that they use such a corrosive substance to melt the ice and snow, and its near criminal that the auto makers can't or won't make a product that can last more than a few winters.

The rust belt states are using super corrosive road salts to cause this. I had the same problem on my GMC years ago. I removed the brackets and hangers, repaired the frame and welded new brackets on. The hangers were then easy. I wouldn't do it for a customer either. Good Luck, Rick

I don't understand how this problem has anything to do with Wisconsin or General Motors. It is a junk rust bucket that has lived out it's life regardless if it is a Ford, Dodge or Toyota and regardless of what state it is in. Art from Ohio

I remember when I lived in Wisconsin and brand new cars would develop rust within three years. It's because they use rock salt very heavily in the winter time.
so its hard to fix. the frame has rust so why Wisconsin will not allow fixing i agree rusted frame is bad and may or may not be fixed . the gm Grumman mail trucks s 10 frames rust out and in 2020 they were spending 10k to have new frames installed the vans are past the 25 yr design life but hopefully they will spec extra rustproofing on the new model but since going EV there not going to get 25 yrs let alone 35 like some now

(Ford Obsolete etc…) But there is a certain point where one has to come to the conclusion I have. (I reside in N Illinois….)
10 quarters at a carwash after the roads dry will prevent most of that.but people are too lazy to protect their own vehicles from rotting out from under them.
You need to share whatever it is that you're smoking. It sounds like it's great stuff......$2.50 at the carwash will barely get the undercarriage wet. LOL!!!!!!
They still rust no matter how much you wash them, you would have to submerge them in soapy water over the top of the frame to have a chance of keeping rust at bay up here in the rust belt...

That job is not worth doing. It's not about ease, it's about safety! That frame is done for and fixing it puts you in the loop for the accident that will follow. A lot of people are quite willing to kick can so far down the road, someone gets hurt. Then the lawyers get involved, and because you touched it, you get paperwork.

It's to keep the leaf spring from popping through the bottom of the box...
I speak from experience...
I wouldn't work on it, with the frame rot the answer would be no
Are you smoking too much weed?
@@JM-lf4ws Truthfully? I didn't want to be Married to rusty ass truck that already had two wheels in the junk yard.
Not to mention encouraging someone to spend money on something Not worth it.
@@TheLastResort3113 LOL I was just Joking...it took a long time for you to say the frame was all rusted away. At least you weren't working on the gas tank...with the lit cigarette! In NY they rusted fast too!
@@JM-lf4ws In fact you can throw a lit cigarette in a five gallon bucket of gas and it won't explode. And it wouldn't have done much of a video if I would have said yeah, it's too rusty.I ain't screwing with it.
Truck looks mechanically totaled..
@@DVolvoguy777-x7o The old pet analogy seems appropriate. How much are you willing to pay to keep it going?And can you find someone who will actually do it.
@@TheLastResort3113 as a professional mechanic I would be very nervous to work on this specimen because of the liability. Contract or no. Pending year and condition of the bed, cab, and everything fwd of the firewall and money was no object? It could be one hell of a fun resto with the availability of after market parts. (Ford Obsolete etc…) But there is a certain point where one has to come to the conclusion I have. (I reside in N Illinois….)
10 quarters at a carwash after the roads dry will prevent most of that.but people are too lazy to protect their own vehicles from rotting out from under them.
You need to share whatever it is that you're smoking. It sounds like it's great stuff......$2.50 at the carwash will barely get the undercarriage wet. LOL!!!!!!
@@countryjoe3551 A car wash near me sprays up as you drive in.
They still rust no matter how much you wash them, you would have to submerge them in soapy water over the top of the frame to have a chance of keeping rust at bay up here in the rust belt...
@@jcanfixall1585 Yes they do, unless you store them in a dehumidified room and never use them. Getting most of the salt off will let it rust slower.
Can't install a new part if there nothing to bolt it to.
I could do it, lack of skills and iq don’t give up.

@@abackimages5351 Right attitude wrong approach. If you have what I call the feel for steel , you don't talk about it you just do it.
Also in the Netherlands 😂😂
It is rusted out...don't wait for any useful content.
that thi9ng is for the crusher
My truck is a 2015, my frame is better than that trucks frame was brand new and 1 year off the lot.
I've seen trucks in way better condition at my local Pick-n- Pull!!
@@williamsaloka9043 I suppose, I should have taken the time to give a little more background.The first thing I said when I walked out the door and seen the old plow rig on the front was oh shit.
Not the worst example i've ever seen still making its way down the road But it's in the top five.
guess the job ain’t easy enough for you.
That job is not worth doing. It's not about ease, it's about safety! That frame is done for and fixing it puts you in the loop for the accident that will follow. A lot of people are quite willing to kick can so far down the road, someone gets hurt. Then the lawyers get involved, and because you touched it, you get paperwork.
@@normangiven6436 wouldn’t the owner and driver be the ones to be held responsible if ever anything happened? isn’t the onus on you as the driver to make sure your vehicle is safe not the mechanic who changed a spring bushing? I hardly think the mechanic would be held responsible unless it was his work that failed
@@AA-tb4ff As a mechanic you are always in the lawyer's mind. My friend, the victim in a rear end collision is being sued since the boyfriend who is responsible, is dead nuts broke and she is seeking a payday.
Salt the roads! Government must tax us and find the salt! General Motors yoosta even pay for it. Nobody should be allowed to own a car more than 3 years old!
Ok money bags, you might waste that much money for transportation but I shouldn’t have too
@@AA-tb4ffstraight up! thank you for saying it. if we gonna have to have NMT 5yr old vehicle, we shouldn't have to pay 35k for a runner or 80k+ for a good work truck. unaffordable for too many Americans.
A $105,000 truck every 3 years? You must be one of those $30 an hour fast food workers. My oldest vehicle is 88 years old.
@@jameswest9261 *straps a trolley and seat onto rotovator*
so's mine!
lol. drag ya?
@@jameswest9261 They'll necessarily have to be $1.5m to help fund the production rates . We absolutely MUST salt the roads and prevent climate change!
My newest vehicle is 32 years old. But I'll have no problem with the regulations because they'll give me UBI. The fines for owning old cars will pay for 10% of it. 10% to save the planets and 80% to spread democracy like salt!
