oh yeah, pretty much all of his trucks have something wrong with them. i looked at 3 2001 7.3s, and they all had either door rust, rusty oil pans or rear fender rust. All the interiors are clean though...

mines not great, but its not beat. (yet) all it needs is some sway bar bushings and someone who is good at waxing (never buying a black truck again)
but i have also payed close attention and taken care of it so the usual things dont rot and there isnt very much rust

ok yeah that makes more sense...me and aaron looked at easily 30 trucks before choosing mine. and yeah alot of them were beat. alot of broken leaf springs, rotted oil pans, wrecked interiors, or afroengineered tuner and other aftermarket set ups

I'm finding, as I am shopping for a new truck, that I can get a lower miles truck here and deal with rust, or wait to go West and be dealing with high miles but virtually no rust. Same miles trucks are at least 5 grand more out West
