October 2010 Fire

I was driving at work going from point a to point b and I heard the rear brakes grinding, metal to metal sound, was going about 40 MPH, slow down and made it to point b, about 1 mile, in town.... Parked and checked under the truck.... And discovered the emergency brake cable was stretched tight... Crawled under truck and discovered that frame was rusted in half (broken all the way thru) on driver's side and passenger side was almost as bad.... Also a cross member was rusted away...
