Both cabs outside, frozen to the ground! 20 degrees for the high!

Clowns around here would be wearing shorts in that weather.
No b.s. unfortunately.

Lol I knew I was missing something on my new phone.

Started stripping the old frame today.

 

[Steve]

With the bed off you can really see the break in the frame. The rest of the frame is pretty corroded as well.

 

[Steve]

Yeah, the nice coiled part going up to the master, I'm talking the janky azz loop that looks like some tweaker did it by the crossmember!
I freely admit I did something similar on my old rotted beater plow truck that soon after went for scrap.

This one is for you Ed!

Hows the front of the frame?
That section always seems to fare better.
