Rust belt???? LOL try New York for rust hehe, but seriously there are alot of nice trucks running around here. Some really cool old farm trucks too. Have a great trip

1 one the trucks used in the show
cooters 69 tow truck
according to Ben Jones "Cooter" they wrecked so many of these that sometimes they couldnt find 69's so they had to fab up panels to make em appear the same
