1993 Toyota 4X2

1993 TOYOTA 1/2 T - THE UNDER CARRIAGE IS SO RUSTED THAT THE BUMPER BROKE LOOSE FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE AND WAS BOUNCING OFF THE ROAD. FORTUNATELY THE OTHER SIDE HELD UNTIL WE COULD GET PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY. WE ALREADY REPLACED THE UNDER BODY TIRE HOLDER AS IT WAS RUSTED WE COULD NOT LOWER THE SPARE. OUR MECHANIC SAID THE TRUCK WILL NOT PASS THE NEXT INSPECTION DUE TO THE BODY CANCER. 1993 IS PRIOR TO THE RECALL, BUT HAS THE SAME ISSUES. THIS TRUCK WAS ASSEMBLED IN TENNESSEE (USA). I CAN FIND NO RECALLS FOR THIS YEAR AND HAVE MOVED AND MARRIED SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW IN 1994 (LEFTOVER), SO WOULD NOT HAVE GOTTEN ANY RECALLS IF THEY HAD ANY. *TR

THE FRAME OF THE TRUCK IS RUSTED THROUGH THE WALL OF THE INNER FRAME FACING THE MIDLINE. THERE ARE ONLY THREE MAIN SPOTS. ONE OF THEM IS 3" X 2? FACING THE GAS TANK. THE TWO OTHER HOLES ARE ON EACH SIDE OF THE FRAME ANTERIOR TO THE GAS TANK SUPPORTING BEAM. THESE TWO HOLES ARE ALMOST AS TALL AS THE FRAME HEIGHT. THE WIDTH IS ABOUT 3". THE REST OF THE FRAME IS SOLID WITH ALMOST NO SURFACE RUST. I DID NOT SEE THESE HOLES UNTIL I REPLACED THE ENGINE AND CLUTCH THIS PAST WEEK END. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK AROUND 2005 WITH A BAD ENGINE SO I DID NOT PUT IT ON THE STREET. THIS RUST DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE CREATED FROM NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR DUE TO THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE. THESE RUSTED HOLES CAME FROM POOR MANUFACTURE TECHNIQUES OR POOR QUALITY CONTROL. *TR
