Took my son on adventure today. Set up a viewing of a flat fender this am. Long story short earlier in week we talked of what truck was and what I wanted thought to be a good match. I'm looking for a solid decent truck to have a use on the farm and get ice cream on Saturday with the kids. So drove 1.5-2 hours. We get their meet the guy all good. Get in the barn and we all know what Swiss cheese is. So I thought he said it had good Bones and solid. Ok I can get fenders,running boards. Cab was ok, bed sides decent, rear fenders rough. Well ok next check underside. I put my large body under with a really good flashlight. Oh shoot is not the word. Trans and transfer case leaking as I watch. Frame separation about 3/4 inch. A look to back and a rust whole in the frame I can put my fist through. Oh shoot again. I get myself from out under it tell him my findings he says I've got a spare frame for it out back. That's when I about pop. I made a low offer and left. Driving home my son and I talked of the Iowa rally and stopped and had taco Bell. Now have heart Burns​ for the second time today. But had a great adventure with my 13 year old son. Quote of the day "man dad that guy had a lot of crap. Why yes he does son yes he does". I'm amazed. Truth vs reality!!!
