SRT-10 frame...?

[CDKiernan]

Unfortunately, on Dec. 20th, during the deluge of rain we had in southern California, while trying to avoid the car spinning in front of me I spun my truck and ended up hitting a cement wall on the side of the freeway pretty much head-on.

I was going 35-40 mph tops when this happened - the air bag did not deploy-and after cutting the damaged front splitter away was able to drive it another 60 miles to get it home.

Now, the repair shop and insurance company are telling me the truck needs a new frame but after two weeks they have been unable to find one in the western United States so they are thinking of totaling the vehicle...which is something that I really don't want to happen.

Does anybody have any ideas on where I might be able to find a frame for a 2004 RAM SRT-10 (regular cab/manual transmission)...?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

There is a Fram on eBay right now

x2 builders has several.

It does need to be SRT-10 specific.

personally i wouldnt want a truck after the frame has been replaced--i'd let them total it and buy another

Don't let them repair that truck. Total it man...NFW would i accept that. I've never even HEARD of that...

I would have to agree, let them total it. There are plenty of nice (non wrecked) trucks out there for sale.

I dont know what cheap is to you, but there was a 04 12k for 25k

jus because a truck has a new frame or a different frame doesnt mean anything its a 2500 chasis its a pita to swap them out but its the same dam thing

I'd total it if I had the choice and buy a new one.
If they do a really good job,it might be ok,but :dontknow:

I would get it fixed. Would feel better then to let another SRT dissappear off the chart.
