frame rust inspection

excellent, thank you, that helps a lot

 

This area looks suspicious. I’d hit that with a hammer or look inside the rail. Looks like it’s been fixed.

 

good call, good eye

 

It could be a nice truck, but when I see a frame perfectly “reconditioned” or coated like that I get suspicious that it was a mess before.

 

EDIT: maybe most, but not all

my dad is selling his 2005 for a very fair price compared to market.

Sale is pending, but get in line if something happens and the sale falls through from out of state buyer.

 

No doubt about it.
If anyone sees for sale a Second Gen, long Bed, double cab, Timberland Mica in excellent shape, let a brother know.
