As previously stated by 57taskforce only disassembling it will tell the truth.

I will add that in my experience you will need new U-bolts to reassemble it. The hassle of fighting to remove the nuts on those and the likelihood of them being compromised by the corrosion isn't worth the work. I would just cut them with a cut off disk and be done.

Just my opinion and along with a ten spot they'll get you a steaming hot cup of Joe just about anywhere.
