Hi Dieseler- From my reading on Mud, it seems that a well maintained 2H goes just as far as a 3B (and theres that Aussie Daily driver who drove a 2H to a million kilometers)- why do you say otherwise? Not being combative, just asking?

JJLee - that price is pretty good - especially with those extras (turbo and OME lift) - unfortunately that probably means you are going to be able to stick your fingers through the frame - I would roughly say that a non rusty, turboed, OME'd Canadian Spec 2H truck should go for twice the price that you've found.

As for Krown treatment - Duncan Autobody in Squamish does it, and it's the best thing you can do for your truck if you are going to drive it in the winter. I have one tiny rust perforation in one of my rocker panels and the rest of the truck is totally solid - because the insides of all the body panels are a wonderful greasy mess!

As for how to deal with frame rust, take a few days to search through Ih8muds huge list of frame welding and frame replacing threads to see your options.

good luck!
