Re: First time truck buyer questions

I would not buy a truck based on those pictures, especially of the rocker panels. The rockers are easily replaced but cover some important areas that are prone to rust (a-pillar, b-pillar, inner rocker panel, etc.) I'd ask for pictures of the inner roof close to the windshield, the front and rear cab supports, the kick panel on both drivers and passenger's side and the cab floor if they would pull the carpet back.

This being said I don't think the bubbles on the blue rockers are rust, it looks like a rough coating that has been painted over.

Good luck, you have a better chance of finding a good truck in Vegas than I do in Kentucky! Rg
