Hope I've got the right sub-board/topic (Maintenance)
A couple months ago, I inherited a '94 Chevy C1500 that'd been neglected/used as a yard truck for 15 years, I'm using it for Lowes runs/wood projects, but it's been a costly little repair sink.
I noticed today there was a lot of bouncing in the suspension at low speeds, I always thought it was a warped rotor or the drum-brakes needing replacement.. I went to look underneath it, and found a *ton* of rust in the frame, like rotten/rusted hollow..
Questions for those in the know:
1) Is this even repairable? (The truck itself I mean, I know this section is toast)
1a) ..if it is repairable, anyone want to venture a scientific wildass guess at the $ ballpark I'm in? I see the full frames run on some of these hobby sites for $15k, and at that point I'm definitely out..
2) Is this a death-trap at this point?
What is this bar with the detached U-clip? And the thing it is attached to?
