I found that while replacing the tailgate and wireing.
My trucks days are numbered. The body "looks" ok, but the rust is at important structial points. Can't even make a good trail rig out of it, unless I do a NAMELESS copy :thumbup

That's why I've torn the carpets out of all the pickups I've ever owned. That doesn't help you any, just making a statement

 

[Mrit]

I agree

Come out west and get a relativaly rust free body!:toothless

Come out west and get a relativaly rust free body!:toothless

That's my plan
Last time I went mudd'n, there was mudd on the carpet by each seat belt tensioner......
But I never sank the truck :duh
So the mud got flung in rust holes :banghead

Here is why I replaced the tail gate:

Here is a picture from behind the rear wheel, most people cut this off. But If I cut it off, the sides of the truck will fall off!

Well, in that case- you really don't want to look under the front carpet by the doors.

HOLY CRAP DUDE!! that sux....how did you fix that?

 

[Fireguy50]

That's not fixable :twak
It's cheeper to get a rust free desert body from AZ / TX / CA, ect.

 

[Queen of the Forest]

WOW!! I thought mine was rusty! :shocked
Though she's getting worse each year. I'm afraid to rip out the carpenting by the front seats.........the carpet behind the rear seat has been out for a couple years.
But I do have some bad spots in the bed, kinda weak where the spare tire carrier used to be mounted.....just dont stand or sit on that spot. LOL

 

[ValkariaKid]

That's not fixable

"Not fixable" my ass!

Cut out the bad and weld in the good.

Done!
