NMNA. I always wanted one of these and there are so few clean ones around.

You have got to stop posting things that are so far away from me.

I wonder what he means by "rough frame"?

Rough frame means it needs to be replaced!

Rough frame means, needs to be replaced. The dissimilar metals means corrosion occurs where the 2 pieces meet and usually the only good remedy is a new frame. About $2k and a lot of hours. A lot of Series LRs need this at least once in their lives so not a surprise. Looks good otherwise but a lot of hidden work.

Rough frame means that you can see archeological evidence of where it once was

The frame doesn't suffer so much from the galvanic corrosion, they just plain rust. Same with the bulkhead - you can see some ugly at the door hinges. Since the body panels are aluminum, a lot of people get taken by surprise as to just how rusty their truck is. This seller is also looking at it from a NY point of view, which means it's basically ready to fall apart. This one's going to want some serious attention.

I changed the frame on mine a few years back. Not that bad a job, really, it was almost all done over a weekend.
