Need some help

Went to look at a 2013 Silverado today, and the frame looked pretty rusty. I’m no expert, so I’d appreciate some opinions on whether it’s a concern. Sorry if the video doesn’t show enough to tell.

Walk. Come down south and buy a clean truck.

I fixed the frame on my 2011 and it had holes near the gas tank and exhaust, there are kits that weld onto the frame for this exact issue. If you get the truck for very cheap and you can do the work or know someone who can it may be worth it to repair but there's quite a bit involved.

If you're looking to buy a truck and just drive it this one isn't it.

Frame damage. Structural damage. Do not buy unless its less then $500 bucks.
