Re: Who's bought a truck and then found...

Recently, bought a truck on the boards here. PO must have sent me a 100 pictures of everything I asked for. I was pretty nervous, but bought it anyways.

Well, after pulling the front sheetmetal, I find that the drivers kick panel and firewall have been worked hard.. Rust on the very outer edge of the firewall. So I decide to pull the interior. Find the seam that holds the toe and floor boards together is totally rotted away. Pull the gas tank and find that the floor has rotted through on the hump portion. Pull the speedo and find that the cowl and inner cowl have rotted through, along with portions above the air vent that connects the kickpanel and cowl together.

Needless to say, I'm still thinking whether to fix this cab or look for another.. Really, didn't want to get into this mess, but I will know better next time.
