How bad does this look?

Brought my new to me truck to get under coated. The guy showed me this rusty spot that I completely missed to see during my inspection, before buying...(now I can't sleep lmao)
His service is dry ice blasting and then Undercoating treatment.
Looks like he went over the spot with his service. I wish I could have seen it before he sprayed it.
Based on this picture would you be able to share how bad it is?
Anyone take a look and let me know?

 

If you tap it with a hammer ,you will most likely punch a hole in your frame,that's the most common are area by the Cat's to rust as it starts from inside the frame and rust's through too the outside.

 

You are out of the recall time frame ,for a free frame replacement.

 

Is repair an option?

 

Yes,they sell patch panels for that area,tap on that area first to even see if it's rusted through before doing anything.

 

Have it patched and keep it sprayed.

 

He took a before and after photo... Here it is before... You can zoom in next to the cat. It's a hole
How much in the hole you think I'll be for this dummy move

 

I’m more upset about the fact that the previous owner knew about this and tried their best to cover it up.

Thanks for sharing...
Can anyone refer a welder who can do this job?

 

Nah it was my fault. I didn't go far enough under the vehicle to see the rust spot on the inside face of the frame. A somewhat expensive lesson learned on my part(always pay extra to lift the car) . So now I just to find a welder who will do a good job to fix this

 

There are patch kits available. I had one on my 60 series Land Cruiser because it came from the Oregon coast.

Must make sure your welder properly cleans everything.

 

Perhaps someone will chime in with personal experience. There is a list of shops on this website (no telling if they're current) :

Check the C-channel around your rear leaf spring mounts as well. This delaminates on some frames as well and in my opinion, is the next potential problem area.

 

Your frame doesn't really even look that bad,just repair that area,fluid film every year and enjoy your truck.
The last owner was lazy about proper maintenance.

 

Yeap

 

Yeh gonna have one of the safe t cap authorized installers take a look at it later next week and get a quote. He was saying it could look like a small hole in the front but inside it might be alot bigger.
My homework is going to hit the whole inside faces of the frame with a hammer and see the worst there is. Wish I knew this before my guy undercoated it, but I'm glad that he at least told me.
Here is what it looks like after the undercoat.

 

That doesn't look too bad but would like to see inside the C-channel near the rear leaf mounts.
What did he use?

 

I'll take a look later and share pictures

I know he used creep and crawl clear cavity wax as the last product that he applied. The black stuff is I think also wool wax products, his invoice says rust stabilizer and rust encapsulator. But before all that, he dry iced blasted the surface rust off.

 

Looks pretty good too me,just fix that bad spot ,and then enjoy your truck.
