STRUCTURE - FRAME AND MEMBERS

 The structural frame of the truck is rotting out in varying degrees throughout the truck. creates a safety issue if in a vehicle accident the structural integrity of the truck may fail and cause a great deal of injury to the occupants of the vehicle. the rotting was not noticed (although it was frequently checked for) until the frame literally cracked open while it was sitting in the garage.
