Taking off the tires to inspect the brakes and what do I find? Dual shock absorbers. Going to adjust and inspect the brake. Who knows what else lurks beneath.
2 shocks? The front one leans towards the front of the truck at the top. Aftermarket, I guess. Front cab supports look good.
Overall better than I thought, the front end is getting a CV swap.
This is news to me, cover is gone. Small spot on cab corner. Knew about this one, and the passenger side radiator support.
Front shock is a hack.. They drilled the I-beam, right?
Check bushings, king pins, bearings, brakes, and overall integrity.
Cab mount looks decent. Rot comes from lack of rinsing after salt laden roads and sometimes the missing access plate.
On a rough dirt road, like the one I live on, it is all over the road. I will have to look at the I beam. In the process of pulling the CV crossmember off what is left of the frame. Got one bolt and tube out, working on the other three. Did the 3G swap yesterday and it started right up, thanks to your pictures.

All a collaborative effort thanks to the Dent and Bump Brethren.

Ah.. that's a good thing... A lesser mortal would have drilled it.
