Rust....

So I've been looking for a vehicle for a while now, I dont have tons of money, so the camaro is on hold What I did find, is a 2001 ford F550 pickup, with a high lift and big tires. Its in my price range, and has high miles. But what i'm getting at is that when i look under it, theres quite a bit of rust. If i were to buy it, what woulod be my options for the rust? Does it all need to be cut out? Any imput would be great.

pics to come

Be wary. I would walk and find something better.

What you have there is a red flag.
Does he launch a boat in salt water with that truck?

Run away fast, to much rust and holes in it already. When you start seeing layering in the rust on the edges like that alot of the rust is already under the metal and i bet you tap it with a hammer and huge chunks would fall off.

Spray it with some rust converter. It's a Ford so it will last forever.
