How would you rate this frame rust?

HI guys, so I am looking at buying this 1990 bronco and in my opinion the rust looks to be minimal and the truck is work buying.

I just wanted to get a second opinion and see what others opinions are. I have i included some pictures of the frame and surrounding area.

Thanks!

Superficial, that is what a 3yr old untreated vehicle looks like up here in the salt belt.

Not bad, mine is a little more accelerated.Certainly not structural deteriation. I was going to hydroblast my underside and treat with a sealer or neutralize.

What do you think a good price would be on this 1990 bronco. It has 90k miles and very clean inside and out.

You can go look at my rust removal project to compare what 20+ years of being in the rust belt looks like. This is nothing.

That frame rust is nothing. Price really depends on where you live. I would check craigslist and compare to stuff local to you

That's a super clean frame in my eyes! Perfect time to strip it down and paint it, it'll be good for another 30 years!

Surface rust nothing to worry about. Depending on what you are going to do with it. You could clean & paint it or just leave it as is. Where are you located?
