New parts truck worthy of sharing

Picked this up in Minnesota yesterday. Was a MN truck its whole life and I sure won’t argue that. Body is junk front to back. But the big block is original, untouched and complete with all brackets. Tilt is nice and tight. Check out the a-arm fix lol. Definitely unsafe...

That's an extremely nice rust bucket. If only it came from the desert.

You nailed it right there!

Never saw an A-arm needing repair. Pretty halfass only doing one side

Re: New parts truck worthy of sharing

Isn't there supposed to be a spring in there too? Or does my truck have something extra?

I didnt even notice the spring was gone. All of my attention was on the iron welded to the a-arm. Yes there should be a spring in there too! I have a feeling this one will get turned into a trailer

Is that a block of wood where the spring should be?
