Back with another frame. Need your opinion please

How does this frame look?

I was told it was sprayed.

 

When it was sprayed especially recently, only hummer will tell the truth.

 

Wha?
I would be putting a deposit before traveling to see it. What should I do to make sure?

 

I would ask very concrete questions about details including amount of rust inside the frame, metal condition and such. If you find any of the answer not truth you will have a ground of at least getting deposit back. Of course if answers are good enough to make the trip.

By looking at the state of bolts and nuts you can easy say, that the truck got acquainted with rust, but under such thick layer of muddy goo on the frame it is hard to tell how good it is without "kicking the tire" (or ringing a hammer in that case).

 

Apparently I can get the deposit back. I just dont want to make the trip or put down the deposit without consulting the TW. I would like yalls blessing.

 

Anyone else want to chime in with an opinion?

 

10$ say's They bought some cans of bed spray at the local auto parts store to spray it down so they can sell it.





this pic they didnt even get the whole frame up top..




My two cents



.

 

Judging from what you see? Pass or?

Also what should I ask for specifically?

 

Look at the bolts sticking through the bottom of the cab. They look pretty rusty. Personally I'd pass. There is probably allot of shit you cant see that worse then the stuff you CAN see.

 

WTF are these rusted bolts for?




BTW It looks like the floor got eaten some too.

 

It looks like it was sprayed/painted over whatever rust was there, looks like there's some rust-like looking texture underneath the paint. I don't see anything terrible though, doesn't look like any covered up perforations or anything.

Was it sprayed/coated by Toyota?

 

God damnit. Fucking 1st gens in good shape and low mileage are hard to find.

49k on the clock by the way. Outside was immaculate.

 

I don't think so.

 

It wont hurt to go kick the tires and frame ..

 

30 hour drive or 5 hour flight.

Kind of wanted yall to say "Looks fine to me".

 

Oh wow 30 hour drive

We can lie and say it looks great...

 

Not not at all. I want the truth. What I meant to say was I thought I had found, "the one".

 

Where are you located? If you're willing to travel, look in the southwest. No rust issues out here

 

I am willing to travel anywhere in the US. I just want a low low mileage 1st gen trd manual 4x4. I am looking for unicorns. This one had 49k.

 

Doesn't look that bad though a still tap certain areas with a ball peen hammer. Looks like there's some scaling but nothing major.
