[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 1022464, member: 52972"] If you bought it with a Salvage Title and you are having major rust issues, I'm guessing the truck was atleast partially submerged in water at some time, and that's why it had a salvage title. You also live in the snow belt and if they used salt on the roads, that contributed to the rust It was probably from the Gulf Coast or East Coast and got flooded by a hurricane. A good penetrating oil may have saved you some grief...also using tubing wrenches helps prevent tearing up the fittings. Then again, sometimes they cannot be saved, no matter what you do. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
