1994 Toyota Pickup

REAR FRAME ROTTED FROM INSIDE OUT ON 1994 TOYOTA PICKUP. CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY STATED THE RECALL ONLY WENT BACK TO 1995. JUST PUT NEW BRAKES, NEW CLUTCH, NEW ENGINE, ETC INTO VEHICLE. WISH I KNEW THE FRAME WAS ROTTED PRIOR TO DOING ALL THAT. I AM HOPING TOYOTA WILL EXTEND THE RECALL BACK A YEAR AS IT IS CLEAR IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THOSE INVOLVED IN THE BUY BACK. *TR
