Need advice...to buy or walk away. Pictures included

[Brewcity]

Hey guys...I need advice on whether to walk away from this 99 Tahoe.
I just got pictures back from the dealer of the undercarriage...and it looks pretty bad to me with a lot of rust to deal with. Pictures below
Can you guys please give me some advice on whether this is managable or if I should dump it and look at a different one.
The rest of the Tahoe is in excellent condition I'm pretty torn.
Thanks for the help!

I doubt you will find any rust free under carriages.

Yeah...I do know that, especially coming from the Midwest.
But this looks pretty bad...especially the rear axle.
Can it be treated?

Remove it, get it blasted, and repowdercoat it

A few hundred probably. If you are only worried about how it looks just buy some tractor paint and it will look like new and be a cheap cover up.

Thanks a lot...I really don't care how it looks...I am worried about it spreading, or being really bad where I cant see it, or is worse than surface rust.
Thanks for the help.

Honestly from the pictures it just looks like surface rust.

Really!? Thats great!...I really don't know much about rust at all.
That puts my mind at ease.

Yeah it looks like normal rust out of a 13 year old truck.
