    So, judging by those few photos the frame appears to be in much better shape than the other bits (axle housing, driveshaft, spare rim, suspension, etc) which means the frame was either already replaced or they sprayed on that garbage rubberized frame coating that hides the ugliness.

    As a few already mentioned, it's not terrible but definitely not good. Rust only gets worse unless you're anal about stopping it. And yeah working on that truck would be a nightmare with all the rusted hardware.

    You can’t go off those pictures.
    They aren’t even of the areas that rot first.

    I’d suspect the usual areas are getting thin.

    I pass on that one.

    not so bad, wire brush and some rubberized CRC sprayed. No one will be any wiser.
