OUCH! Your not going to weld anything to that. Looks like that has been sitting in saltwater.

i had to get my Gen1 taco muffler replaced a few years ago but it never split open that bad!
but taking a closer look i don't think that is a pic of a Toyota muffler because of that weld

Frankly, I wouldn't be too concerned about the exhaust.
I'd have much more concern about the rust thru on the frame, the overall integrity of the frame, the poor condition of the brake and fuel lines. These 3 things alone make the truck an accident looking for a location.
A '97 vehicle with 250+ kmiles living in WI.........has had a good long service run, it may be time to retire it. The corollary is the spend $$$$ to fully replace the degraded parts, including frame. Or those $$$$ could be channeled into a ride in better condition, used or new.
