That's nothing. I can show you a few worse then that. That's typical around here too.

Maybe squint Eastwood was right - that rusted out frame had been treated with fluid film since day 1!
Just kidding, that is a parts rig I picked up for a 5 speed swap, been stripping it down.

[MENTION=140253]Drew76[/MENTION] I see your rear lower control arms and raise you a rotted off front sway bar bracket ;-).
This is why PA has inspections as this would be legal to drive in the state of Ohio.
Good thing I did get any Fluid Film on that sway arm cushion. Man maybe since it swells natural rubber this is why it is missing.
What do you guys think? :wow2:

Yup. This is a perfect example of what doing nothing looks like in the rust belt.

Did the fluid film swell your body mounts, or are your bump stops just happy to see the rust free frame?:lmao:

and I'm going to have a decent spare frame off a 98 from UT here this summer. I guess maybe I will have to hold onto it? frames are really not that hard to find once you start looking. this one came from CA and only spent a couple of winters in MN before the knuckle head owner rekt the top of the truck. frame was still nice and straight. salvage dudes banged it up a bit but they stripped it down for me. honestly it only took me a couple of months of looking to find a decent frame without 50 miles.
this is what it looked like when I got it.

this was prob the worst rust on it.

Well I can rebuild the frames and I have gotten quite good at it and that was my attention. It was all about working with rusted rotted steel to improve my skills. I also developed methods so that people can fix their frames in sections. Thus any DIY could rebuild their frames if they wanted to.
Its just around here the 3rd gens are just about all gone. Rotted up and junked or parted out. I know other areas of the country arent like this. I also know folks dragging non rusted ones up here better do some serious rust proofing or they new rides or frames would be rotted out.
