Anyone have any suggestions of a place to take this to get repaired? It's a 1994 F150. It's my dads plow truck. Here's the story, the frame bent on the drivers side while pushing snow one day, he took it to some place in Mukwanago and had it pulled straight and they straightened the door and fender out to make it look half way decent (the drivers side fender pushed into the door.) All was fine until the next time he went to plow and it folded right back like it had did the first time. He was gonna run it that way till the season was over and see about bolting a piece of plate over the weak spot. I used the truck last week end to pull my GMC out of the yard it was bandoned in and I noticed the front end (fenders, hood ect) seemed to flop around when hitting bumps. He too the truck back that Saturday and hung the plow on it and went to plow Sunday morning. After making his first pass he noticed the lights were all cockeyed and got out to look and saw everything on the right side hanging down and did some looking and noticed the frame torn.
It is torn right in front of the right spring tower, right at the cross member. If this can be welded I see no reason the truck cannot continue to be used as a truck, just not a plow truck. There are no steering or suspention parts attached to the part that is torn away, the bumper attaches to it and it has a body mount for the core support that is rotted and no longer attached.
ANy advice would be greatly appreciated. We wanna get the truck put back together, pull the plow and sell the truck.
