    Compared to trucks local to me, that’s not bad at all. Some five year old trucks around me are just as bad, if not worse

    So I went back and looked a second time this time in the daylight. It's a no go. That frame is rusted bad in the front section /crossmember area and the upper control arms. I couldn't see that damage when I went last time. Also the driver rear spring perch was rewelded on, it was still solid but I can only assume it was rewelded due to rust. I could tell from the weld, while a good weld, it wasn't factory. Glad I went and looked it over a second time. Search continues.
