Good sheetmetal is pretty easy to come by here in Texas. I wish I had the space to buy up and store a few parts trucks. I doubt the parts will be so easy to find in the near future.

Duuuude.... if only it was that common around here! There are two types of truck condition around here, rusted beyond reconition, and restored... Its rare to find a truck with straight, unrusted sheet metal from the factory....

I found a parts truck here in Connecticut and the bed only had a few bubbles smaller than dimes. Its on my truck now, and those stupid bubbles are slowly coming back. Rust never goes away....

If anyone knows of a 73-77 truck down there with a straight rust free body, and they feel like goin for a ride to get rid of it, let me know! I dont care if theres no engine, drivetrain, frame, electrical or glass either!

Y'all just need to come to Texas. If a truck has rust, we consider it to far gone to repair. Us Texas boys wouldn't have a clue what a patch panel looked like....

There is not a speck of rust on my '86...

What is rust?

74Pumpkin · 11-09-2003, 11:41 AM

Too bad there was not an easy way to get Texas Parts up to Minnesota. Or whole trucks for that matter. I'd love to find an older Blazer with no rust.
