I had one in Florida that was that way. Found it online and I we went back and forth and I paid for pictures. They sent polaroids but looked decent. I asked about areas that looked like rust but they said it was just shadows in the pics and truck was totally rust free. Drove down with trailer to pick up with my Dad. When we drove up I remember telling Dad, "I hope they have another truck because that is rust." It was swelling on the fenders and the frame was as well. Coastal salt I guess. Owner came out to greet us and he was drunk. I was none to happy and started pointing out the rust sreas and his reply was , "What do you expect for a 50 year old truck?" I said that is why I asked him about it and YOU said it was totally rust free. It was a VERY long drive back home. I think that is pretty low of someone to knowingly mislead like that. I bought and sold since and walk around, unstopped/unedited video helps a lot. If someone is unwilling to do that when you offer to pay for the hassle it is a huge red flag.
