Frame is extremely rusted on 1997 toyota t100 pickup. Balance of the vehicle is in excellent condition and has been very well maintained. Rusted frame has caused many of the connected parts to also rust and making basic repairs virtually impossible to fix. The suspension and braking system have been effected the most by the rust.
