I've been fighting this battle internally for a few months now. I almost bought a 92 Eliminator as a winter beater, but the frame had broken and was "repaired" terribly. They just welded steel over the rust. It was rusty all the way under the cab on the frame. It was bad news bears. If it hadn't been "repaired", I'd have probably bought it and fixed the frame and added frame stiffeners to drive in the winter.
