Was that done by a "shop" or was it done by him. Either way, that's pretty bad. Looks very unsafe. I'm suprised it lasted like it did. Looks to have alot of rust so I guess it was on the road a little while.
From what he told us, he bought it like that. The c notches aren't fully welded or boxed in on top, the panhard was cut apart and welded back togeher in four ditterent spots, and the axle tubes are torn.
Its a shame to see what people do to a basically brand new truck. It looks like it isnt too far gone though. Good luck redoing the setup, post pics when your done.
