    I wouldn't be TOO disappointed, either, BH. I was disappointed about 5 times when I was shopping for mine.

    Focus on Florida! You’ll get a nice truck cheap and still come out ahead with a flight ticket there and gas back.

    Don't lose any sleep over it. everything, but the frame, was rusted, from the looks of it.
    BH shouldn't be disappointed at all. I feel sorry for the sucker that paid $9k.

    Thanks for the help everyone. I’ll keep my eye out for one not in the rust belt.

    You dodged a bullet. The body rust on that was pretty bad. If you're seeing a rust hole, then there's more you're not seeing.

    Truck was a rust bucket. Figured that was a frame replacement, which means every other metal component on the truck is ate up. Wouldn't want that headache. Glad it sold. Keep looking.

    Those pics make all the difference...I would have passed at any price above $5k on that. That sort of rust makes working on ANYTHING a PITA.
