The whole leaf spring shackle went thru the frame of the truck. After looking at how to replace this noticed pretty much the whole thing is rusted out and will need to be replaced to make it safe to be on the road again. This should be a recall on the truck for safety reasons

Body frame has rot holes throughout undercarriage. New frame needed. While driving, I went over a speed bump and heard a loud boom from underneath the truck. Upon investigating, it was determined that the driveshaft broke off N was lying on the axel. Aaa was called and immediately towed the truch 1 mile to our mechanic. After a thorough inspection, it was determined that a new driveshaft was needed and upon further inspection, the mechanic spotted numerous pitting rusted holes throughout the frame. Determined that said truck was a total loss.

The brake lines and the entire frame is rusted out. There are big wholes in the frame. The garage wouldn't even put it on the lift, because it was so bad. Have replaced breaks and still the truck has break issues
