My bad! Apologies. It is sometimes hard to discern between the wacky conjured up theories that some folks have and those who “get it” and are just being a bit sarcastic. (I should know, lol!)
And I meant frame, not crane, in my previous post.
It doesn’t add up.
Hood, bumper, grille and some associated minor mechanical parts/fasteners and a new 30” LED retina scanner on the front of our truck was an over $8k repair bill last fall at the body shop and that was lower than quoted elsewhere.
I’m very skeptical one could purchase a new frame, disassemble the entire truck off of the old one and reassemble, along with other incidental items for that amount.
