Myth or Fact?
Moving to Flordia soon and I hear that there isn't a whole lot of trucks down there. I hope this isn't the case. If so, I may have to pick one up on the drive down there. Any info would be great.
Thanks,
Mario

From what I have heard, the Florida air is not real kindon older vehicles.

Welcome to Florida, were the weather is always hot and humid, even in December. Ive been working on my truck for 3 yrs and in that time i have not noticed many others around here. I did find a 68 LWB for sale about 2 miles away from me that was a suprise! The humidity and frequent afternoon thunderstorms are have not been kind to our old trucks.

WORNBRAKES · 06-20-2002, 02:41 AM

Thats what I hear. Up here they are a dime a dozen. I pass 2 blazers, 2 C20's, a longhorn, and a burb on the 5 mile drive to work. My dad's friend in Salt lake has been restoring these trucks for 15 years and has a yard full. I may have to see if he has a stray '72 blazer. Thats what I would like next.
454- Were is Lutz?
