Defect description
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: FRONT DISCHARGE CONCRETE CARRIERS WITH 6- OR 8-WHEEL DRIVE DESIGNED TO OPERATE OFF-ROAD IN DIFFICULT SOILS AND TERRAIN THAT ARE BEYOND THE CAPABILITY OF CONVENTIONAL REAR DISCHARGE CONCRETE TRUCKS. THE FRAME RAIL FLANGE IMPINGED ON THE HEAD OF ONE OR MORE LOCKBOLTS WHICH ATTACH THE ANGLE IRON REAR PEDESTAL SUPPORT BRACKET TO THE FRAME.
