Re: my truck's history - via trash inside
I bought my '71 Chevy C-10 in August last year in Southeast Missouri.
My son and I were amazed with the very small amount of rust, both rockers and one cab corner. These 3 areas were rust throughs but the floor of the cab and the bed were near perfect with only surface rust.
As I cleaned out the cab I found a little loose change, an ice scraper, an umbrella, half of a sun shade and a 2000 map of Albuquerque in it. The rear bumper had a New Mexico Sheriff and Police Association decal. The camper shell was made by a New Mexico company.
All this led me to believe that my truck was in New Mexico until at least the year 2000 and that is why the truck was so rust free.
