ATTN Jerry Moss. Heres our RUST!!!
LOL!! I talked to Jerry Moss on the phone yesterday (Very nice guy by the way) and he hasn't seen what a rusty truck looks like!! You see he is spoiled out in cali w/o the rust problems!! I though Jerry might get a kick out of the Jimmy I parted. It actually came to Missouri from Minnesota.

looks like all it needs is a body, front clip, interior, top, drivetrain, electrical and a little paint and you'd have a clean driver...

I'm in South Dakota so I can definitely relate to Joesjunk. You California guys are lucky, compared to those of us in the "Rust Belt" of America.

I don't think you can blame the looks of that truck on the rust. Looks like the sawzall and the impact did more damage to it. I am guessing it looked just like this truck in the picture.
I have the Fuggly truck next to it, and it is far worse for rust.

Rust? What rust?
Ok, I have to confess here...
I am the one who sold the 72 Jimmy to joesjunk. I said it was very "rusty", he just thought I said "rust free". They sound a lot alike, and after he sent me many thousands of dollars, I was not about to correct him! That blue 72 Jimmy did look pretty good in the pictures, but it was about the rustiest truck I have ever seen. A real shame, it had about 80k original miles on it, but sat in a wet shed rotting for years before I bought it. It rusted from the bottom up, and everytime the door got slammed shut about 5 pounds of rust would fall out. It did run and drive pretty nice, if you dont count the exploding brake lines which I found out about at the first stop sign I came to on the way home! Every once in a while, you can still find a pretty nice original here in Minnesota... like this 67 C10 with 34k original miles. |

All you need to do is stuff some rags into them holes and shoot her with some flat black rustoleum. Chicks will dig it.
