Do St Louis Missouri Tacomas have a problem with rust?

Thinking of picking up this 97 Tacoma that looks really sweet but i see in some pictures, a bit of drive shaft rust that appears to be surface as well as possibly some rear axle corrosion. Its hard to really see it so I thought I would ask my fellow Missouri Tacoma owners, do you have lots of surface corrosion on your truck or worse? pics would be fantastic and say alot
Thanks in advance!

I am just speaking from my personal experience, but my 2000 Tacoma ext 4x4 came from St. Louis and it got bought back by Toyota for frame rust. The rest of the truck was still real solid.

 

yeah, this one spent its first 5 years in California then the rest in
Missouri
