Stopped by a shop outside Phoenix last month and saw something wild

I was picking up parts at this old school garage near Mesa and noticed they had a 1998 Ford Ranger on the lift with the bed completely off. The frame was rusted so bad you could see daylight through it in like 3 spots. Owner said it was a daily driver and he had no idea. That got me thinking about how many cars we see with hidden frame rot that people just ignore until it snaps. How do you guys handle telling a customer their frame is toast when they just came in for an oil change?

Just show em the holes with your phone flashlight and let the silence do all the talking...

Got a buddy in Tucson who drove his Tacoma on a Swiss cheese frame for two years before a bump split it in half.
