    That does look pretty good. Where are you located? Rust may not be a big factor where you are.

    BTW, Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)!

    this was bought in 2000 in TN, and has never left the area, been local its whole life. TN just started salting roads with the big "cold front" came in 2024. the carfax says that this hasnt had 100 miles on it since 2021. the underside has no salt on it but i also looked into the original deal sheet and it was one of the "coated frames" so it is protected, plus when i replaced the radiator i had to take off so many skid plates, the guy i got it from bought it with ALL THE FEATURES, and added skid plates after market, some are rugged plastic but most are steel. thank you for reaching out and helping, hop for more help!
