The scissors dump bed, on one I bought for the frame, had 3/4 inch wood strips on the top frame flange before the dump frame was tied down.

Never having been cleaned underneath, this area was caked in dried mud that held moisture and rusted both frame flanges dangerously thin.

Hello Jim

I did look over this area as well as the rest of the frame pretty good before buying the truck. Happy to say that the frame is all good and no rot was found. I don't see any evidence of wood though, maybe different mounting for the year of manufacturing, or a different company installed the body.

Thank you though
Jack
