Re: rust, should I sell the truck?
That is very minor. It's not hard to fix that at all and cover it with some paint to keep it from getting worse. Neither of mine looked no where near that good when I started.

Re: rust, should I sell the truck?
not to be a smart azz , but is that seriously the only rust on the truck? I wouldn't have even noticed or paid attention to that. the p.o. prolly didn't notice either

Re: rust, should I sell the truck?
My no rust ebay truck resulted in 2 rockers, two floor pans; two cab corners; a whole floor under the gas tank; and a BUNCH of cowl welding.

Re: rust, should I sell the truck?
An inner fender isnt hard to replace at all. A new one is only 99 dollars and in california you probably could find some real nice used one at a junkyard for 25-50 dollars

Re: rust, should I sell the truck?
That aint rust...you need to travel to central and north eastern US to see rust...
That could probably be fixed with the right amount of skill,or a replacement one for $40 cheapest,and better ones more expensive... I wish my trucks had that little amount of rust.. Last edited by 1969k10stepside; 09-09-2007 at 09:03 PM. |

Re: rust, should I sell the truck?
Now if someone put that one on ebay and said no rust, and that was al that it had when I bought it, boy would I consider myself lucky. I do understand however that the PO said NO RUST and you found RUST.

Re: rust, should I sell the truck?
Nothing wrong with that. Replace the inner fender and move on to other parts.

Re: rust, should I sell the truck?
I didn't know the inner fender went down that far....
![]() ![]() Really man, that is minor corrosion, not rust and I'm in Texas! Buy a quart of POR 15 and coat it, it will never rust again.
