It's almost as if the '70's trucks never existed around here. Not only do I not see them on the street, I never see them in JY's anymore either. BUT, I still see the occasional van. confused shruggy

While we don't have salted roads around here, we do have salted air being so close to the Gulf. I'm sure a lot of trucks just rotted away (from the top down). Actually saw the outer roof skin blow off an early '80's truck while going down the freeway.. eek


I bought a rusted out cab from a friend of mine to get all the frame parts off the bottom of it. It was from florida and the roof was so rusted it did the ^ tent over the windshield while it was being towed once. But everything below that pint was clean and rust free.
