frame shot

Any Ideas about 2003 v8 runs like a bear. Frame shot,I mean shot. TY

 

Ideas? Like what are you asking?

 

welcome, pictures

 

Check out Safe T Cap. They make steel pieces that can be welded to your frame to replace the bad parts.

 

Thanks,I myself have know means of repairing. Trying to sell for $1000. Just purchased 2006 Maybe I can use parts from 2003.

 

How many miles on the 2003?

Post some photos so we can see what can be savaged, with it running it should be worth a $1000, but more than the engine needs to be usable for it to be a good parts vehicle.

There's some but not a lot of parts off the 2003 that would be usable for the 2006, there were some changes after 2005 year model, also different models had some different options.

trailing arm rotted off frame

 

Well I'd say it's worth a $1000 for a parts vehicle for someone.

 

Looks fine. Just keep adding more ratchet straps as needed.

 

Yank the motor those things go forever. Someone will just buy that motor for more than 1k

 

Also weird it doesnt have the v8 badge in the front grille

 

What state did this truck spend its life in? The amount of rust on that thing in 21 years is insane. I don’t have much faith in mine lasting too long with how much salt and ice melting chemicals are used around here. It already has a lot of rust after only 7 years.

 

Not anything can be done about that frame i would remove what parts you can for sale and junk the rest.

 

How close are you Chicago? Maybe AMDs shop could get you another frame or something used ?

 

If you don’t have the means of fixing, or storing things, then it makes sense to sell it and get what you can for it. Seems like a a shame since the body looks nice, but it’s hard to do anything worthwhile with a frame that bad.

 

That's just a damn shame for an otherwise nice truck.
