    The bed is wrecked and the frame is twisted a bit. Do I take the cab and fenders off and send the rest to the wrecker?

    It is a 53 Fargo truck. Here is a couple of pics though you can't really see how twisted the frame is. [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Frames can be repaired and straightened. Do you have a clear idea what you want when its done? It would be easier to evaluate from there if this one can be made to serve.

    Thanks! I was needing space so I stood the bed up and realized with a few pieces of angle iron and some plywood I would have one hellbent for stout set of shelves.

    I would like to make another set like only build all new parts and make an entertainment center from it. Use a repop tailgate to cover the bottom storage area.
     
  10. Me too, say hi to Mom for me :D

    Strip the frame and find out how bad it really is. Truck frames are usually easy to repair or make from scratch.
