My truck is stuck inside for the night

Hey everyone, I apologize but after getting almost done with my suspension repair I found a crack in the frame of my truck where my power steering gearbox bolts to the frame. I have had to leave the truck inside the auto bay tonight and will return tomorrow to spend the day finishing up my suspension repair and repairing the frame and re installing my steering gearbox.

I will be in around noon assuming I have no delays in the AM but will be in tomorrow no matter what to get it done. If anyone has an issue please let me know at 469-579-7811 or on here. I have buttoned everything up as much as I could tonight and left a drip pan under my truck as I have a few small leaks so that the concrete is not damaged. Thank you all for your patience.

I am back in at the space and working on getting it done.

The truck will be here for another night most likely,we are going to have to custom form a brace plate for the frame. I will try to get it out tonight depending how long I can stay awake.

Progress so far, welded and ready to clean up. Well be back tomorrow to clean the welds and weld in the re enforcement plate and then 're assemble the truck. Sorry again all for the delay and thank you all for your patience.

Well I got the patch welded in but the gearbox needs to be replaced instead of rebuilt. So hopefully she’ll be whole again tomorrow.

Ok folks my truck is finally done and out. I am leaving my car for now and will pick it up later tonight. Thank you again for everyone being patient.
