It looks pretty good compared to trucks from my area, 2003s would look like that here if they haven't been rust treated.

Just get a wire brush and some rust inhibitive spraypaint and it'll be good as new.

Its def. savable. Looks just like mine when I bought my truck. POR-15 would be the best way to go about treating it but like said above, time with a wire wheel and some rust preventative paint will also do the trick.

Its not too bad. If it were me, I would get some POR-15 and a wire brush/wheel and go to town on the frame after taking wheels, and other front end stuff off.

screw a wire brush or wheel. Get an angle grinder with a flap disc and go to town. takes almost no time to get it clean.

Lol. Isn't that stuff that covers the frame flammable? The black stuff not the rust.

My 92's frame looks better than that, but as along as its surface rust you can salvage it.
