    Yup get it. If you live in an area where roads are treated with salt or brine make damn sure you crawl under there and check out the frame real good.

    That's a fantastic deal. Just make sure the frame isn't rotted. Poke around with a screw driver to make sure it's sound, especially in front of the leaf spring hangers.
