Low-Rust Trucks For Sale

I see them advertised all the time.For years I`ve been going to see them only to be disappointed.For years I never saw a truck with a rusted header panel,roof,cowl area,firewall,etc.They are showing up now.These are considered high-rust and most people walk away from such rust and I`m no different.But,these low-rust trucks are all over the place and it just occurred to me what a fool I`ve been wasting my time looking and passing them up.I`ve bad mouthed these sellers for wasting my time,even.I could have hundreds of those by now.I just was misunderstanding what low-rust means.You guys have seen them alot too and most have owned one if not many.Have you passed up on these,too?What are we thinking???

Low-rust:rocker panels,cab corners,core suppoert,inner fenders,floors(bed and cab),tailgate bottoms,K/5 torsion boxes/lower front of 1/4s,Suburban lower 1/4s/rear sills...even frames.A truck can have the whole lower couple inches rusted away...gone...and still be at lest 90% rust free.I`mnot sure if even 10% of the body is rusted with all that gone.

This is all low-rust and I`ve been dealing with some very honest sellers all these years and never realized it until now....DOH!!!
