The Suspension problem

Severely rusted frame. While the spare tire has not fell off yet, I had the truck up on a rack at patrick airforce base to change the oil. I've known for a while that the frame is bad. The truck only has 81,000 miles on it, but looking at the frame, it won't last much longer.   Read details...
