Pass. Cracks in the frame sounds like a big deal breaker for me. Unless you're looking at it for a drivetrain donor or something, keep looking.

Yeah, it's the wheel they used in 95 and 96. Has an airbag.

That thing is EAT UP with rust.

That's the very rear section where the filler hose runs through the frame rail.

I'd offer him $100 bucks for.

half of them out here are like this. I was looking at another the cracked frame had a weld job I got under to have a look and I saw carpet falling through from the rotted out floor pans. there wasn't one good spot on the floor. rotted rockers don't bother me but when it is worse than that I turn away
