I actually just bought a truck where crispy crème is located lol and I totally agree about the donuts . I’m going through this process now of putting in crossmembers. I’ve cut off the crossmembers but now I just gotta get the tube part out of the frame. Curious will a jigsaw with a metal cutting blade cut these out ? My only thought is getting them out with a grinder at the moment. Also is there a way I can contact you if I happen to need some work done ? Thanks for the informative video and you do great work !

@@chadmichael7794 You can’t be too far away, then! A jigsaw with a metal blade would probably work just fine. Grinder with a cutoff wheel would work as well.

Why do the auto makers still let this happen? There's this neat little thing called galvanizing! On a production level they must be able to keep it cost-effective. When a truck cost $2500 they were admittedly throw away. But now at $40,000 to $100,000 it should never rust out a frame to the point of being dangerous.

@@johnny0454 Well. If GM didn’t make such crappy frames we wouldn’t have said problems with the frames. They should’ve stuck with the C frame, the one they know works and lasts a whole lot longer than the box frame. They knew it wouldn’t last as long as the C frame would. So, bad frames equals more money for the company. And better frames that last longer equals less money for the company cause we wouldn’t have to buy a new vehicle as often as we do now.
