Thats a very rusty double frame.

[theakerstwo]

Looks like he has welded the fifth wheel plate to the frame.

Its a shame to treat steel that way. Frame could go any time. Camel backs look like they have been rust welded. This would be a frame up restoration including a new frame.

When a man welds a fifth wheel to the frame he will do other nasty things

[Onyx610]

That thing is just a parts donor

[james j neiweem]

That may bend in half sitting in the parking lot. This may be a teachable moment. What would be the procedure and cost for a frame replacement on this vehicle.?

[blackdog2]

they always sell that type of equipment broken frame's , trunion's basket job for BIG Money ...

That old dog will be right over there where they discovered the omicron variant ..... and run for years (lol) 

[james j neiweem]

Yeah when you look out the front window you will be looking skyward.

We had gotten a quote from a place on a 1998 RD and for some reason 40k sticks in mind. That very well could have been a I don’t want to do it price….However it was from a frame and alignment shop. Also that was about 5 years ago too.
