Chassis Rust 66 F100
I've been offered a nice truck but there are numerous rust holes underneath the in and around the chassis
Some appear superficial, however others seem to be around body mounting points, although not having owned a 66 Ford I am unsure to how importnat these places pictured are.
I will be exporting to the UK and we have to go through a ministry of transport test which with these rust issues the truck would not pass.

If I post a few of what appear the worst, anyone got any advice as to how dramatic it would be to fix?
Thanks

It looks like the truck has all the inherent rust issues that are common given the age. There is nothing that can't be repaired (read replaced) without too much drama if that is you're thing. All good and enjoy the experience, at the end of it all you will be driving something a lot different to Joe Blow from down the street.
That alone makes it all worthwhile.
My 2c.
Cheers Oz.
