Re: Problem with the frame on my 1947 chevy truck

I'm with Orrie on that one. I think that the first order of business is to wait until you can tear the truck completely apart and then examine or have someone who is knowledgeable look at the frame to see how bad it actually is. Good stock frames aren't all that expensive and as there are no serial or vin numbers on AD truck frames that I know of swapping them isn't an issue that way as it might be with a Ford of similar vintage

The bad thing is that if the frame is that bad right there it may also be bad in several other places .
