More chassis rust…

The sad but promising part is that it is drivable now, and drives great- does anyone think 5k is reasonable to ask?

 

Good luck-
I did the two rear at leaf springs and mid section 4 years ago. The rust just keeps coming back

 

Might as well post it for sale and see what happens. Its a killer looking truck. I just put a down payment on a truck from Washington because I too am sick of the rust. My frame was replaced and is solid but theres still lots of repairs to do and my cab looks a lot worse than yours. Good luck.

 

Eastern Texas and Oklahoma is a good region to look for rust free Tacomas IME. And not everyone thinks they have a rare museum piece like on the west coast, so you can find them for normal prices.

 

I was looking over there and Arkansas a bunch but the only ones I really liked the sellers didn’t want to deal with someone out of state. And as far as I can find Texas only has prerunners. It’s insane how many are down there.

 

If you need the backhalf I had a junkyard offer me one for $350 the other day in Houston, i looked at 2. That is a relatively straightforward repair process.

I found a complete perfect frame for $1000 though.

And yes 1st gen Prerunners are very common around here, in ext cab especially.

 

Meanwhile in California, we toss clean frames cause there's no need for them

Can't even give them away

 

I will buy one if you can find an 01 db 4wd. I don't know where people post them as I can never seem to find them. Maybe its a word of mouth thing?

 

Where are you located?
