Wanted Painted undercarriage???

I live in a part of the country that sees a lot of rust - so I want to ask the pros their opinion on this undercarriage. Looking at buying this southern owned truck it’s entire life but is honestly too clean and appears to have too much consistency between the frame and fasteners. Please let me know what you think - thank you!!

It maybe looks to have been treated at some point. But done pretty well IMHO. or from what we can see i.e. Chassis black top coat color on both the hardware AND the frame is the giveaway. Most use POR / Oil based treatments that are way too glossy and are not prepped well, sprayed on, etc. Overall pretty good underneath minux the exhaust, which is common and an easy fix.

I'd be more worried if there were obvious areas of treated rust flakes, bubbling up. It appears they at least prepped it sufficiently early on....as there's some expected surface rust in areas but nothing I'd be concerned with.
