93 pickup frame rusted thru
Hi folks, I have a 93 pickup and the frame has rusted through so bad that it actually broke at the rear spring shackle and is unsafe to drive at this point. I understand that Toyota was buying back trucks with bad frames. I did a little research and found out that the years they are dealing with are 95-2000. Is there any way of getting my truck covered under this program. Or should I forget about any hope of having Toyota help me out on this? Thank for any help you might offer.

unfortunately, you are s.o.l.... go to a local welder and have him repair it, should only set you back a few hundred bucks :)
If you have an Xtra Cab and you live on the east coast, I have a rust free frame I will sell you for 150$ as well. |
you have any pictures? first thing is i would wire wheel the area down to clean metal so you can get a better idea what your dealing with.

No way toyota will cover it. You can repair it or get a new frame.
Chances are if it hat bad in one spot, it is bad in other spots too. |
Thanks to all who replied. no mine is not an extra cab, thanks anyway. I didn't think it would be covered. Yes there are lots of other spots it has gone clean through. I would just be chasing it if I were to weld this one area. To bad it needs so many other things, I don't think I can afford to fix it up. It needs a head or head gasket, brakes all around, complete exhaust, a windshield, front end work, new a/c system, tires, frame. I just don't have the money to do it. oh well she was good to me up until now. I got 323,000 nearly trouble free miles on it. Thanks again.
