I used to see a sweet, original looking '73? step side on the road on my way to work, and it suddenly disappeared. Haven't seen it in at least 6 months.
Never got a pic of it because it was too dark out when I would see it.
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.
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..
