Well, it is a twenty year old truck. Surface rust, which can appear extensive, isn't a problem, and I've never seen a vehicle with so much rust that it was questionable. I can't see the vehicle from here, so take it to a body shop and have them evaluate it. who knows, it might be near collapse.

You won't find that type or year of truck that ain't rotted out unless you keep looking and luck out .

Toyota was replacing badly rusted frames at one time, for more information take the VIN to the dealer and see if it qualified. Rusted frames can become a very serious issue.
