my "new" rust bucket
well it was nice out this morning so i got a few pics of my "new" rust bucket
1991 f150 lariat xlt single cab long box, 2wd, 302 v8, auto tranny
notice the garage in the background of the #2 pic....thats where blue bandit sits
when i washe it the other day i found that the rust is much worse then it looked, the driver side cab corner is rusted through just a tiny hole but its still there, i knew the fender wells were bad and the rear quarter pannel is rusted through (typical ford), but the paint is all peeling off....its ugly...it will be a project once i get the blue bandit on the road again

Honestly it doesn't really look that bad, although like you said, you can't see everything from the top.
My 90 looked a LOT worse than that, but you could see thru the door sills lol. That truck was still a damn good runner, and if it hadn't crumbled away, I wouldn't have scrapped it.
Looks like a nice solid tailgate though, those are hard to come by up here in rust-land.

Wow, your actually complaining about that body? You should have seen what my 89 looked like before i started swaping new body panels onto it!!!
VVVV Look, you can even see the rust hole in my rear fender from about 30 yards away!!! lol
