Don't look at your rust bucket as it is...look at it as it could be!
Be sure to check under the truck too. Those models were known for rotting supports (frame to body). I had a chevy truck that looked great from the outside. New fenders, doors, Paint, etc. But from the underside it had serious structural problems. Got well over 250,000 miles out of it but, allas it finally died of rust.
