That was common with the older Toyotas around me (Northeast). Especially the ones that had single wall bed! Does anyone else remember the "optional" bolted-in "double wall" add on?
Dodges were known for the front and rear bumpers rusting out in just a few years.
Fords and Chevys would have various frame pieces rust out prematurely, seemingly randomly.
Life in the "salt belt"!
Very true; I owned an '81 Toyota 4x4 back when they only made the single cab. Great little truck and we have a lot of memories camping in that little truck with our GT Spoiler camper shell and 2-year old daughter (35 years old now). I agree, the sheet metal was very thin on those old Toyotas and they were built nowhere near today's standards. Fun little truck though; would go anywhere in low-lock!
