The Toyota recall ended the frame repairs. All the boxed frames cause issues. The f150 would break in half. Only the bottom flange would hold the truck together and the truck bed resting against the cab. I witnessed an owner driving a broke f150. I wish I would have taken a picture. It might have completely split in two in the next few miles. The older trucks held up to the salt. And heavy open frames would not hold debrise. Sometimes we would get good condition c30 chevys for weld on hitches. Not only the was frame impressive but there is only 4 or 5 wires in the harness for the tailights. I always claimed modern vehicles are throw away by design. Easy to rot and hard to fix.
