Rapid City Iowa Truck/Chassis Shop

Asking for a friend in Rapid City, with a 1993 Grand Villa. This is via another FT friend here.

Evidently the coach has a rear dually issue, that is common to FTs of that generation. They are off 2"s. Foretravel makes a kit, but no one wants to touch it in Rapid City?

Any truck repair places in that area that might work on it? Amazing, because it's kind of a truck capital of the world.

This coach may become for sale as is, or fixed. PM me if interested, I will pass your number on.

This is just a labor of love, to help another FT owner whose wife passed, and the coach has huge sentimental value.

Thanks in advance
Chris

Chris,

What is "off by 2" and what is in the kit?

Chris,

The right side, to left side rear axle, is off by 2" (dog tracking). Not driveable to Nac.
Being told he has talked to FT, and there is some 'kit" to correct this. I 'am getting info second hand.
