OK, here I am.
A friend with a frame rusted through under the spring hangers.
Axle stops nonexistent.
Fuel tank skid plate and hangers, a thread of what they should be.
Shock mounts are gone.
The body mounts are like stacked potato chips of rust.
I can not do this for free. If he buys all the required parts, what would be a fair price in this day and age?
I fix Ventracs at 100 an hour, but this is a close friend.
I am a certified welder to boot so that is not an issue.
What would be a low-end price for body mounts, plating the frame rails, and rebuilding the shock mounts?
He has already bought most of the parts, (top quality, not crap).
I don't mind helping a guy out, but wow, this is a lot of work to be done, right?
As a side note, my home was destroyed during Helene, I am in a condemned house but ok and safe with my steel mods for a while.
Not too many carpenters use 4-inch angle iron to support a broken roof..lol
My shop, other than the 9-foot retaining wall 20 feet next to it collapsing, was not touched.
Anyways, you guys that know where I am at, it would be nice.
Thanks in advance for sharing,
This is one I can't do for free way too much rust.
