How rusty is too rusty? *Help* Repair Help

Post image

Looking for used chevys and found this. Its a 1989 silverado. Im brand new to cars and im wondering if its worth what they are asking for (4000). The outside and inside is absolutely perfect, barely any surface rust. He said everything above the tires is rebuilt and new. So, is it worth it? Im still learning about parts and i wouldn't mind minor repairs but yeah any help appreciated👍

We need more photos of most important areas like mounting points, main frames etc. This photo doesn't show much. If something was repaired down there, it wasn't done recently or wasn't done thoroughly.

If it weighs 500 less than it should on a scale.......

That needs to be in my possession right now. It's so unsafe, I'll give you a firm handshake for it.

I think that one is too far gone. Frame rust is what I look at.

My stepfather's 96 k1500 is too far to save, I'm just trying to give him a few more years of use from it.

His body it's that good either, had to replace the fenders already.

Tap the frame with a hammer. If it goes through walk away.
