Columbia Basin, Ephrata, WA | There are LOTS of Peterbilt and Kenworth log trucks with aluminum frames. They are tougher than some guys give them credit for. That said, I have broken an aluminum truck frame. It was on a semi tractor; the straight truck with a 20' box and hoist had no frame problems. When the engine in that truck (a '59 Peterbilt COE) needed work, I pulled the box and hoist off and put it on a '73 Kenworth with an aluminum frame. No problems there either.
