    Hello!

    I am looking at purchasing a 2008 DC 5.7 4wd truck, i am looking for pretty rush free trucks with around 150k miles. I have found a good priced, 150k miles, great looking frame truck. Only problem is it has one rusty spot on the bed from the plastic bed liner. That is pretty much the only flaw with the truck, minus it needing tires. I am leaning towards going ahead with the purchase and fixing the bed rust and bed lining the truck. The truck will have a topper/camper on it a month or two after purchase.

    I live in Colorado, but the truck is back home in tennessee and considerably a better deal than i can find here including fixing the rust and rhino lining the bed.

    What is your thoughts on a near perfect truck for your needs?

    The truck is still covered under the frame warranty till July 2020

    Frame and bed pics, and the side steps will be removed.

    That rust is from underneath...the metal swells then breaks through the surface and paint. Look under where the bed attaches to the frame. The frame actually looks pretty good...IMO look farther south. Or plan at some point to buy a bed... good luck!!
