Default The Undercarriage

Hey guys, I'm having my "new to me" 1992 F-150 looked over for any issues that may need to be addressed. The mechanic stated that he's going to go over it with a fine-toothed comb, but of course it has some rust issues underneath. Do any of you know of habitual trouble spots with that particular year or around it? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Everywhere really, but the fenders, rad supports, hangers, doors, floors and rockers seem to get the worst of it.

It's because down south, we have very limited sand trucks, because we never need it. Where I live, under the two inches of snow was a quarter inch of ice. Now our roads are also better and smoother because they don't go through harsh winters, so imagine driving on ice and snow with no sand or salt. Now imagine driving on that with a bunch of people who don't know how to drive on it. Kinda a problem lol. My mom laughs a little at it too, being from upstate newyork, but she knows its just different driving on these icy roads and those icy roads. I however was playing on the road in my truck in front of the house, because the roads are closed and I live on a long straightaway, so I can see if someone does just so happen to come. I was also playing in my yard (which is 18 acres) because it was all frozen lol. But today it was 72, that's Alabama weather for ya.
