R.I.P. to another minnesota truck... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Went and checked this one out yesterday. I am pretty sure this won't buff out. I remember this truck running/driving a couple of years ago. One interesting note is it looks to be a custom with lower woodgrain trim. I grabbed a few parts off it including the posi rear, but there wasn't much left. You guys out of the rust belt have it good!
Enjoy.
The willys was neat too.

Wow!! The only way a truck would look like that here is if it was IN the ocean at one time!
Cool Willys!! Are you going to drag it home? Its a rare one, Factory 2WD!

Maryland trucks arent quite that bad

but I have seem some pretty close. I AGREE, bet we all do the Western guys don't know how good they have it.

Some aggressive compound may cut through that rust & shine it right up- you never know!? The grill surround looks decent- maybe I'm not seeing the dents? Indiana trucks look about the same after 40 years of salt.

I thought my $100 dollar K20 was bad with some dime size rust in the rockers/cab corners.

That's like one of those trucks you see for sale where the first thing they say in their description is,"Good glass".
