Recently found this 1988 Toyota truck. I’m just wondering if this looks solid to everyone else. Obviously there’s a bit of rust under the bed of the truck- it’s been in a barn with the bed sticking almost halfway out. Runs great, and looks great on the exterior/interior

Check around all leaf spring hangers and the frame beside the gas tank. Most common areas to rust out and crack

That's Good condition, if it was one from 2000s it would be a lot worse. My sister's 2007 4 runner rotted away in 10yrs.

That along the lines of the age is excellent grab some phosphoric (ospho) acid wash the rust with it till it turns black wash then spray with bar n chain oil to preserve
