I wouldn't pay that must for a rusted truck. The front end will cost a lot to repair even more if you don't do it yourself. I would look elsewhere.

I would recommend looking elsewhere also 3500 is too much and they should say its a quad cab instead of a mega cab.
If you head south of about Tennessee you will find much better trucks. I have a 99 with no rust which is not uncommon here. Also check this salvage site I see them from time to time in that year range. Your on the right track just get a good one!!!
