I may be able to fix the frame but it is a LWB and I want the turning radius advantage of a SWB. I love to be able to back a trailer into Yoga position parking places and a SWB sure makes it easier.

That crack was not noticed when I scrubbed the frame and gave it a squirt job with black paint.
It's a T shaped crack and when I set the motor/trans and cab on the frame it flexes out and opens up.
I may have to drop the frame on a frame jig and see if it is twisted.
If I find a SWB frame, I'll stash this one and move on.
