rust/corrosion/age...an endless battle you just can't win the war against

But your truck looks so clean. Up here in Canada, rust is a real issue. And Im a Toyota diesel fanatic and you can only imagine what a battle I go through trying to keep them on the road, or all the frame repairs I have done And I work for the highways and it guys like me that have to salt the roads, makes me sick to my stomach whenever I do

these old trucks are like a woman, always needing something expensive

Talk about a quiet, tight front-end...prior to going over RR crossings it was like a loose noisy buckboard.

I've ALWAYS kept-up on repairs etc...with my health and shaky hands it's just a bad time for this truck to be in-need of attention. She's been an amazing truck though
I keep thinking of the first time I started it at the dealer to bring her home > February 1988

And NO > my lower rad support isn't as bad as post #3, not at all...but it needs to be replaced.

I need to go to the junkyard and pull a couple for you Northerners. Wonder what they would charge me?

Question...are the lower rad supports a bolt-in part > difficult job???
About how many hrs should I expect to pay a body-man for a 'side-job' ?

If i remove my front bumper my whole front clip drops about 3 inches and then im unable to open my doors. Its getting kind of bad.

If its not as bad as the rad. support in the pic posted, just paint it with por15 and leave it.

I scrap the 87-91 supports. No one down here wants them. I may have a few left. I have several obs ones though.
