DantheMayun Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Just out of curiosity ... How is all you 90-95'ers frames doing? 1 being completely rusted out beyond repair.... 10 being rust free. I'd give mine about a 4 or 5 rear end has some holes in it and has been patched before. Mechanic where I live doesn't seem to care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkiBumBrian Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 10, but I live in a fairly dry climate and no salt in the winter....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92Path_68CJ Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 8. Used to take it wheeling up in Big Bear every year during the winter. Snow was always up to the bumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precise1 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 9 AFAIK my pathy spent 1 winter in Pittsburgh and then moved to California. It has very light surface rust in a few spots that I should clean and re-paint, but that is it. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I'd give mine a 7. It has the factory paint on most of it but some spots are flaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulletsforringo Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 About an 8. Minor surface rust around the rear quarter panel window and underneath the flares. Nothing a bit of elbow grease can't fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I don't fit the criteria of the year range you put this in but i'm voicing mine anyway because I feel like it WhiteOwl-1988 I actually drive 9-9.5 some spots i need to wire brush and re-touch with bedliner but everything is 100% solid to where you can wail on it with big hammers and just knock bedliner off ToolShed-1988 parts truck/storage shed 8ish solid but could use a coat of something to make it purty and penetrating fluid is gonna be needed once i'm under there turning bolts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyC Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 9, surface rust from rear tires flexing. You should add vehicle location/history to your poll. Bet most of your <6 are concentrated in the salt lick states. Mines been a NW/Hawaii truck, just well maintained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

92Path_68CJ Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 7. Used to take it wheeling up in Big Bear every year during the winter. Snow was always up to the bumper. Lemme change to a 7. Bought from the dealer new in 1992 here in Southern California. Sold to a relative around 1995~. Used in Utah as a commuter, especially during the winter, ski racks and all. After about 2-3 years it came back to Socal. In about 2008 we started taking it wheeling summer, spring and winters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inyourface1650 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 9. Rear tires rub the paint off and I've had to spray paint. FIrst winter in the snow, still looks good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolkersdorfer2 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I'd say mine is 8.5-9 It's been in WA it's whole life and if you compare it to all the other 90-95 trucks out here it looks like its been garaged lol This is my first frame built car (only owned Hondas Toyota cars ect. And when we say "minor surfAce rust" what we actually mean is the rust started on the inside and is just now barely rusted all the way through and is flaking off the paint. How likely do you think this is what happened to my frame? Looks like paint flaked off just in the smallest bits by the rear wheels, and is starting to rust through..

swofford.nick Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 9 or 10 got it with some surface rust then wire brushed it and rhino lined it, i got lucky to find a good one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 5. Already plated the sides, but the underside of the driver's rail is rotted out too (big ol' gash above the exhaust). I was amazed at the amount of dirt that came out of the rails when I knocked the rust out. The rest is reasonably clean, still painted even. Can't wait to get a welder and finish it (or a fresh frame from a junkyard... how hard could that be?). But maybe I should take care of the gas smell first... It spent most of its life in NY, then went to Idaho. Both salt states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nismothunder Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 When bought, 3 Now. 9. If I ever get around too fixing the front more it'll be a 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edicer2 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 mine was around a 4 but i got it fixed for maybe around a 6-8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TahoeRunner Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I live in Reno where its dry as can be most of the time... you don't even have time to physically dry the car after washing it before the atomosphere takes care of that for you. I say mine is about a 9, I've got just ever so slight discoloration in a few spots on the frame but its not progressing because I keep the frame rails flushed out twice a year and I have some slight paint peeling (smaller than a dime) in the front door/ lower fender spots that were full of dirt when I bought it, but after flushing all that out, hasn't progressed a lick. I'm very fortunate when it comes to rust! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
