Thanks

I've certainly seen worse, compare to others:

Looks fine to me just get it undecorated once it's in your hands

 

Run Toto Run!

 

I live in PA as well. Thats not bad for this area but if your not going to use fluid film or some other undercoating done, its a good idea to get underneath once or twice a year with a can of rustoeum and touch up any areas with rust.

 

The holes in the cross member would make it a definite no

 

What holes in the crossmember are you referring too

 

Your referring to the body mount?

 

just take a wire brush to it, clean up the rust, hit it with some rustoleum rust inhibitor/converter (give it a few good coats like 5-6) and then FF it and it'll be fine---i just recently cleaned up my frame a bit in some small spots i saw some surface rust

 

That was my second guess.. I’m going to ask them to take a close up of they area since it a far drive for me to take..
Thanks everyone for the advise

 

I was able to zoom into the pics looks like paint chip

 

that doesnt look like a hole

 

this thing looks fine. and if you are willing to spend the money on it, you should at least go see what you are buying

 

Definitely not a hole. You can see the paint flaking up.

not even paint, just hard grime flaking up. Paint underneath looks good

 

I'd just pressure wash the frame one day, and then Fluid Film the next day. It'll look like new once the Fluid Film catches some dust and turns black...

 

This truck looks fine. Clean it up a little (or not) and hit it with fluid film every year and it will last until you want a new truck. Yes, my frame was replaced under the extended warranty and that one does not have a problem.

 

Lol that's not a hole. I've seen holes. I've been in holes. That is not a hole.

 

Please do tell.

 

No...
