Above post reads, "Did the rest of the body sleuth off in one rusty heap...???"
Did you mean slough (pronounced sluff) or even sluice?

Used cars here in the snow belt of Western Massachusetts look like [censored] after a shot time. I don't know what you kids up there in Canada use on your roads but I hope it's not the same mixture we use.
This year I did undercoat my frame and other areas on my 2012 Nissan Pathfinder and I must say the frame was nearly rust free. I was going to leave it but I had already purchased the undercoating so why not. When I sold my 2006 Toyota 4Runner in 2012 the frame and front end was extremely rusty. Toyota truck frames do not hold up well in a heavy salted area!
My cousin lived in the Lake George area of NY. He swore off Toyota years ago because of their rust problems, he'll never own another Toyota. Rustproofing is a must in that area.
Just about every other brand in the LG area are just as bad with rust !

You Nailed It!

I think that is supposed to be the joke.

Ah, missed the forum section.
The frame looks so good, I was confused.

Saw this early spring of 2017, I had to pull in to take a picture. A mechanic walked out and said the owner was having body work done with the body off.
I'm sure they were going to do any needed mechanical repairs too. Easy work with everything out of the way.

Are any lightish C/U channel chassis vehicles available on the US market?
Looked into it in the Yook and the only reasonably-sized one seemed to be a BL Sherpa chassis-cab. Earlier versions of the Toyota Zace here were channel, but no more.
It's a box section, open on the ends like a pipe.
Not sure of availability of C/U channel chassis.

I recall Toyota having some major issues with their frames becoming unsafe in rather short order compared to some of their competition. Many of which had to be bought back. One of many articles about it. http://autoweek.com/article/recalls/toyota-will-settle-truck-frame-rust-suit-suit-34-billion
