We looked out of rust belt states for several months, issue was by the time I could arrange a flight to “fly and drive” the trucks were gone; but going to keep trying.
The ones in our area for sale rarely have the frame replaced via recall; maybe 1 on 15 that come for sale and the rest all seem to have “soft spots” on the frame rails or the rotten spare tire cross member sections in the back frame rail.
Noted and very much agree trucks of this ‘vintage’ are going to have repairs needed and have no problem with that, issue was we paid a rather substantial premium for this one based on the tech inspection that was provided prior to purchase that proved to not be accurate. Would have kept it but but wanted a refund from purchase price due to inaccuracies in the condition as it was represented. Dealer decided to take it back for full refund so we are going to take them up on that offer and keep searching.
