    It's likely in good shape but buying a used vehicle inherently carries risk... these techniques can help mitigate the risk, but it's never a guarantee that the frame won't rust through at some point.

    I think the question you have to ask yourself is if that truck is worth the risk. For what its worth, I think most people would say that their Tacomas are worth it.

    Not at all. Original frame is preferred if it's in good shape.
    Frame swap entails a lot of swapping over components, you would never know if they did a comparable job as the OEM factory.
    I've heard of people having issues even after a frame swap
