Nice truck but the frame is very rusty
Really? you sure thats rust? Maybe its just the lighting? Next your going to tell be the door has rust too.

To fix that I would have to pull everthing off the frame repair any weak spots and treat the frame so it does not come back. Maybe I will do that. I could start a thread here and document the whole process. I could call it Dinger's build thread. Hmmm wait a sec.............

FYI up here in the north that rust is normal. As a inspection mechanic I sent 77-79 Monte Carlo's and Malibu's to the junk yard for frame rot as early as 1985. 40 year and no holes is pretty good. I was expecting patching on the frame so far I have not seen anything that needs a patch.
