Post 'Frame Repair Kit OnLine'

.....Se meant some sheet metal and a pop rivet gun .

My middle sister lives in Richmond, Virginia, a very nice place IMO .

She's a horse enthusiast and bought a nice Chevrolet 3/4 ton Diesel to tow her two axle trailer .

Eventually the mechanic when doing routine hot LOF told her it needed new brake lines because of rust . (!? seriously ?!) ~ she called me and I did some research, it turns out GM pinched pennies and used cheapo steel brake pipes, a whole truck kit was under $200 plus of course, vexatious labor .

The two had low miles, ran perfectly and nary a dent, she doesn't smoke so near perfect interior .

She junked it .
