Re: [VACList] ceiling crack

[Roy Lashway <rlashway@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This may be a problem of "tail sag" which is caused  by bending  in the 
frame behind the wheels which forces the shell to shift or pinch 
downward.  Although this is not characteristic of '68 models it is a 
possibility.  Try lifting up on rear bumber and see it moves while body 
does not.   Also check for slight wringle or bulge  near wheel well 
cutouts.  Check out the Patterson files for lot of discussion this 
problem.  Sounds like the body is  somehow moving and it may be flexing 
of the frame which transfer movement up the body.  Potentially a serious 
problem and you may need a dealer (who knows their stuff) to check it out.
