What do you all think of that huge gash in the rocker panel (?) in this photo?

that truck looks like it's in great shape. something like that would be hard to find where I live in southern Ontario, Canada. in the heart of the rust belt. I'f something like that survived the Canadian winters with road salt... that would mean it was put away for the winter. and where's the fun in that.

I see only red flags, that may be caused by your questions. like he may think your staking it out kind of thing.

these trucks values are rising drastically. you better get it before someone else does. I mean your advertising it to us.... GMT400 addicts!

I really dont understand the quest of seeing if it has a bent frame.... they are the strongest of all the gmt400 frames.

well with that gash... and it's not new and it's a truck that was used for truck things. do you want a rust belt rocker panel comparison? I even have a white truck! LMAO.

You must be registered for see images attach

I saw that, but didn't know what it is.... it's weird looking.

I'm not following you here.... staking it out? Like he's going to steel it? Wouldn't he just drive by at night with a roll back?

No, no, no. I would first let him know I'm interested in stealing it.

I saw that weird spot on the rocker panel too. Probably just a bad bondo job after hitting a rock or something.

I agree that you should jump on it with all those pics, there isn't anything besides that one odd spot to worry about.

The rocker covers don't look as new as I first thought, so that's good. Paint underneath them looks janky, and like the others said, that spot is odd looking.
I wouldn't, but that's just me. You're taking a gamble buying something sight unseen, but if you can live with the outcome, go for it.
