southern Illinois		How bad can a frame be and still pass inspection? Look at the pic and tell me if this is a problem?

Central ND		Probably might depend on if the guy inspecting has had a good week or not, and I'm being 100% serious.

KY		+100 on how good a mood the person is on any given day.. goes for any I’ve ever dealt with. Yours doesn’t look like anything of any concern, but I’m like above, rust isn’t a violation that I’m aware of, just makes them look even harder to find one though.

East Central Iowa		I think they would look for frame cracks, but rust isn't a violation.

$5.00 of bondo before the paint would have made it look a LOT better

Mount Vernon, WA		If it were me, and an inspector told me that my truck was red tagged, I would politely ask him to justify it by showing me in his rule book. Things might change then.

I doubt it is an issue....if it makes you feel better.... clean it up and apply rubber undercoating from spray can....works great!

What else is rusted out and close to becoming a problem? Things like cab mounts and cross member mounts might be all that concerns me. It's not the frame rust that concerned me it would be the other what if stuff down the road.

Unless you can justify a condition indicating an imminent collapse of the frame you would be good to go. Usually its the cracks, especially
the ones that extend into the flange, that usually causes an out of service condition.
