Soo ever since I hit that curb back in September my bed has been bent towards the cab at the top. I got under it and couldn't see where the frame looked bent or anything out of the ordinary but over the last week it's been getting a lot worse. So yesterday me and my dad got it up on jackstands to get a good look at everything. And this is what we found...
Drivers side
Passenger side
Notch was cracked all the way through on both sides. And the frame also had a small hairline crack on each side.
We welded up all of the cracks and welded up the sides of each notch. When I was jacking it up to get it off the jackstands it broke again and worse this time.
I didn't see that the crack went all the way to be back side initially so we didn't weld that. Causing it all to break when I jacked it up.
We took the bed off and welded everything all the way around and it's been good so far. Haven't put the bed back on yet as I'm gonna take it to a muffler shop or welding shop and get them to lay a bead across the top of the notch since our little Lincoln won't get hot enough to lay a decent bead.
