Is This Too Much Rust?

[Monomoyrips]

Hi all,
I’m looking at a used 200 series LC with a little more than 70K miles. It’s a New England truck. Is this too much rust or is it treatable/manageable?

Sorry,
I think it's too much rust. Unless it's a virtual giveaway.
I'd advise, go southwest young man

'New England' is an Algonquin word which means 'too much rust'. Once you hang a Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, etc. plate on a rig, it begins to rust exponentially. This rig proves it.

On the other hand, by the standards of the area, this one is actually quite clean.

My 200 doesn't have anywhere near that rust, with twice the miles. Keep looking.

I’m usually one to say “that’s fine”.

In this case, I would pass.

I'd personally pass unless it was a steal.
Plenty of cleaner examples out there.

Unless it is 50% off - keep looking elsewhere

KDSS bleeder screw will probably never turn. This is a "run it hard until it dies" rig--I sure as hell wouldn't want to work on it. Shame to see at such low miles.
