    With Crackie, that was probably advisable!

    You would be 1/2 way there based on your numbers. But, would you be able to get $1500 with the repairs needed? Or are you saying the $1500 is based on the repairs needed?

    Did a Woolwax undercoating. I put Woolwax in every hole I saw under the truck and made sure to get the boxed frame area. One thing I suggest is to be sure to check behind the plastic cover where the front door opens (both sides). The plastic cover (see 1st photo) is near where the door connects to the body just behind the front fender. The leaves/debris seems to make it's way down to this area from the opening near the hood hinges.

    Below are photos from my Sequoia for illustrative purposes (forgot to take photos of the Tundra). The leaves which broke down to soil were packed in the space up to the top of the fender; it just kept coming out. The Tundra was similar with leaves and debris in this cavity. I am so glad there was no rust where this debris had been sitting all those years.

    Pull back this plastic shield to reveal the debris.

    I believe there’s supposed to be a rubber stop/plug up there that often gets yoinked during windshield replacement which should stop that from happening, at the top of the fender, end of the cowl channel. But maybe I’m thinking wrong. Last time I was in that area on my truck, I was surprised I had little to nothing in there. It was a common pack-full-of-shit point on many of the GM C/K10 and 1500s I’ve owned.
