Looks like a pretty solid truck. Is it?

huh? we must not be looking at the same truck....granted it's not rusted away gone, but it's got at least surface rust at the top of the the fenders and cab corners, rockers and the bottom of the fenders...all the normal spots...

looks like a nice truck though...I like the color combo and the front end...could be something really really nice with a little work...it's got good bones...

Re: My sons got the square body fever

after rereading what I wrote, it looks like I'm being a total a$$ and downing your son's truck...I'm not trying to be like that at all and I'm sorry if it comes across like that...it looks like a nice truck, one I would like to have...

Re: My sons got the square body fever

I should have stated that I am on my Blackberry. But in small scale, it looks pretty solid. Especially for a mid west truck.
