I'll tell you first to use the "S" word, search :) This is the ultimate first question, to give you more of an answer, RUST, if you have a lift, floor pans both sides, frame rails, doglegs and rockers usually mean deeper darker problems. Mechanials are for the most part like any other car.

Look very closely at the frame rails behind the front wheels, where the rails come from unter the floor pan to form the front frame members. As stated above look at the floor pan under the carpets and from the bottom where the frame rails attach to the pan. The dog leg is the extension of the rear quarter panel where it meets the rocker panel under the bottom rear of the door, this is another problem area for rust :nervous: . JLP
