Rust never sleeps, and unless you can do your own bodywork, it's expensive.
All in all, I agree with your father in law :-)

The reason for me looking at these trucks are because they are rather cheap. So I figured if the rust isn't that bad it would be worth it.
I have a friend that has done basic rust repair and would have him help me.
All the trucks online with no rust are pretty expensive and restored. Even some of the restored trucks have rusted rocker panels.
I was thinking it would be easy to find a rust free truck out here but they are harder to find than I though or like I said really expensive.
Thanks for the input! I'm not gonna rush into a purchase.
