Generally in PA if you're failing inspection for rust its for frame issues. We can bon do over rust on the body with no problems to pass inspection. We have a spike test if the frame fails the visual test...if the spike punches through the frame the truck is done without serious (dangerous) welding. Most welders i know wont touch frame work - too much liability.



Generally people in copperhead's shoes sell their trucks to a farmer and cut their losses. But its always good to have a parts truck hanging around if you can afford it!
