Two Key Items for Disclosure!
Last pictures of the underside were taken "before" brake system was upgraded and/or lines/other parts replaced in 2023. Discoloration is due (1) age, & (2) no undercoating treatment, (3) shows normal use and (4) it is 86 years old as reality!
Unless the truck is off the floor & on a lift to view the underside, you can not tell the original floor had rust repair done. The "existing" floor is solid and difficult to identify that any work had been done.
