The bondo has very little rust too. I think he's a little high on his price too.

I am sure it was a typo, I think it was supposed to be "Very little surface area not covered in rust".

hey, that truck is from Ohio! it would be considered low-rust by our standards. looks like it has been sitting in that field since it rolled off the assembly line.

Crap, I've seen better trucks that age in Iowa that have been driven in the salt. Little rust, lol, bet he thinks it has a lot of power to.

From my experience, if a truck looks good in a picture it is usually OK. If it looks OK in a picture it is usually bad. If it looks bad in the picture it is usually junk.

I'm willing to bet that the price isn't the only thing that is HIGH in this instance.

In Indiana, little rust is no holes. Surface rust can be fixed . This truck looks a bit beyond that though...
