I had to have the frame of my 88 welded, after I bought it, it had been in an accident and the frame cracked. somwone had put new metal over the crack to stop it, but when the safety check was done on it, he had the hood open and turned the wheel and the front end wiggled. be careful with frame dammage. I don't plan on doing much to my truck because of the dammage, but make sure the dammage is taken car of first, before it gets worse. I had to have my frame boxed to keep it from wiggling, because someone was cheap with repairing before, and it got worse.
