The rust issues were not hidden. I had full knowledge of the rust that was hiding under the dash. In fact, I have pictures from when I first looked at the truck that show how bad it was. I know I have the protect-o-plate and the original owner's name, but do you know the history of the truck in between the original owner and yourself? Whoever it was really liked to lay fiberglass...and he smoked a pipe.

I'm not sure but the guy I bought it from was the one planning on tubbing it. He told me he had bought it from the original owner. I didn't ever research it, but his story was the gentleman that had it used it to go back and forth to the grocery store and had it under a carport. Probably why it got the pine needles/leaves in the cowl and wiring gutter that created the rust issue. The pipe is supposedly the original owner's
