That Robin is a "Most Impressive" fix , "Hoopty" is what the younger generation around here would call it LOL
"That truck is Hoopty"
I did have a 5'x10' utility trailer come in for an inspection a few years ago , it had new springs , axle , tongue and coupler , all nice new lights , tires a glossy dark green and black paint job , it was a thing of beauty .
The fella got mad at when I told him that we couldn't inspect a trailer that had a frame made of 4x4 pt lumber .
Yup , he had a Hoopty trailer .
The frame looks to be good on your truck , the inside flat parts good ?

Yeah.. not bad......the back end is really thin......not from rust...just made that way....crumple zone thing I guess. But it's solid and straight.....the round cross members are toast as well as the square aft one.....few more pics of progress to date...working towards being non-Hoopty...
