Frame rust opinions

Hey all, I’m looking at an SLC truck (2007) and was hoping to get some opinions of this frame rust since I’ll be coming from out of town. I’m definitely going to be picking through it with a fine tooth comb but from what you can see does the rust on it concern you? Frame hasn’t been replaced and is recall eligible. Thanks everyone.

 

That frame is fine.

 

Doesn't look bad at all, typical slight rust from being over a decade old but actually pretty clean. Much better then my 2010.

 

You're smart to be looking.

Apparently the area next to the cat is the place things go bad first.

You didn't actually take a picture of the important spots, which would be from under the truck pointing outward towards the front body mount. Your last picture shows the front body mount. If you look carefully into that body mount (you can't see it in your picture), you will notice a big hole at the back of it exposing the inside of the boxed section of the frame. Now look where the wheels is, and where it will be throwing road crap. See how that road crap will be thrown into the boxed section of the frame? What's what you need to be worried about.

 

These were the pictures I got from the guy 4.5 hours away before it got dark, sorry, all I had. I will look in those spots though, thanks!

 

Thanks for the info, I will take a look there too.

 

Thanks guys, I’ll still take a good look but glad it doesn’t appear too bad in these spots .
