    Hello, first time using Tundra forum.

    its manual 3.4. I always wanted a manual truck so I took 24 hour trip to Minnesota to pick it up.

    Rusty bed with holes, rusty parts bolts breaking off every parts, no AC, very loud ticking from the engine.

    Hope I didn't make too much of a mistake purchasing this truck.

    Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)! Good luck with dealing with the rust. And you might want to get to know the 1st Gen forum well.

    good thing is that frame is replaced from the dealer. But it looks like they sprayed coating everywhere including all the suspension components, so its rusting from in side and out...

    The best thing is that you already have a new frame so aside from mostly visual only body rust the only thing you should really have to worry about is the diff cover on the rear axle rusting out. If the price was right it seems like a decent deal at a decent mileage.
