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!

Thanks Freewheel.
What exactly do they do at Duncan Autobody in Squamish? Glad to hear that I can find help locally though. I'm in the middle of researching my options as to frame rust remedies, but not sure how much it'll cost in the end. Wondering if you or anyone else has had experience with this.
Can I get away with making the repairs for roughly the same cost as waiting it out for an HJ60 with a non-rusty frame.
Happy Canada Day, eh!
