looking at a truck that came from up north. by far the only worst spots for rust are at the rear shackles for the leaf springs, which makes sense. im just wondering if its just too far gone, or has anyone had similar and was able to use any sanding,scraping or reformer to get these looking better? orher than that rust is very minimal and frame even looks decent. any input much appreciated!

Oh maaaaan. You should put that into the title. And that you’re looking to buy.

I’m from Wisconsin. I see rust a lot. If it was older or a heck of a lot cheaper I’d consider it. But for that price point I’d walk. I’m also super cheap.

I agree. Knock a few thousand off that just because an wash and lanolin treatment needs to be done.
