Thanks guys, this decision was not easy for me. I bought the 55 in pretty much the condition you can see in the pics posted. Like most things, the longer & closer you look at it. the more things you find that were done wrong I've found that redoing someone else's work is usually much harder than doing it right the first time. We first plan to to replace the frame rails & change the 4-link (installed wrong) to a 4-bar, replace the bed floor & re-tub with aluminum. Lots of other things to change/replace over the next year or so. I'll keep you posted. Don
