So my 2003 F250 is not going to pass inspection this year with frame rot among other things :thumbdown:. I'll have to replace it with another used 3/4 ton truck ASAP.
My plan had been to wait another year and import a very lightly used truck from Down South and then religiously undercoat it. That is not an option now and will have to look locally. My budget will also likely dictate a 4-8 year old truck. Around here that means some rust will already be present.
My question is how much rust can be halted without extensive prep work or even disassembly first? I'll go to a professional place to get it done. Before I moved Up North 6yrs ago I thought I knew what rust was. I had no clue how quickly it can eat a vehicle up!
