found much bad juju under bed, need help!
Forgive the multiple posts, but I really wanted to make sure this got out. I just decided to switch my lowered springs for a buddie's stock ones. (His rear's were almost brand new! ) We ended up needing to remove my bed for access and found a plethera of bad juju!
1. All four coil spring mounting plates(stud brackets) are almost useless 2. three spring mounting bolts snapped 3. left shock bolts(upper and lower) trashed. 4. both axle ubolts too small, left one loose from humungous hole drilled in the axle plate 5. bushings gone on whatever-arm connected from frame to axle(I can't think right now) 6. no bed bolts(bed held down with four undersized generic bolts 7. all four front bed bolt mounting plates need replacing 8. both coil spring mounting plates(ones riveted to frame) are rusted away 9. most cross-members are too rusted to deal with. 9. and the grandaddy...the frame is rusted away on both sides where the spring mounting plates are! Even the support plates are useless. Some previous owner had a broken leaf spring bolted to the pass. side just to hold the coil spring in place! O.K...now to business. Does anyone sell any of these things; or have some lying around that aren't being used? Any info would be greatly appreciated. In His service, Wes Pamplin
