Less see some rust - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Most of our trucks with time developed rust ... I will show what I had to deal with if you show me the rust you had to deal with.

This is what my bed looked like when I purchased my truck.

Holy Hannah Batman. That rust has a little bit of truck on it.

Here's mine,

Look through the steering wheel you will see the massive amount I am going to have to cut out. Just awful,

Sorry, My Bad, sometimes I can be a jerk.

I did have a heck of a bad cab roof/back to fix though. Not like it's all cherry pie.

When posting pics from an IPad they usually come up sideways but yours is the first I've seen upside down.

Every picture I've ever posted is from an iPad and I've never had one oriented wrong. If I had to guess you use your iPad with rotation lock on and take pictures in portrait mode or something like that. Unlock rotation and always take pictures with the iPad oriented horizontally with the home button on the right. Not saying there's not another way but that's how I use it and never had an issue.

**special-K** · 03-16-2015, 10:45 AM

So, if I hold an I-pad the right way with that rotation lock off pictures of my truck will it show no rust?

Only if you try to lick your ear while doing it. Oh...and you have to have someone else taking a picture of you while this is happening and post it here.

**Already Gone** · 03-16-2015, 05:52 PM

Lets see if I fixed the problem. Guess not. How do i shut off the rotational lock?

Swipe up from the bottom of your screen to open control center and toggle on an off using this icon.

EARNHARDT#3 · 03-16-2015, 06:05 PM

Or you may have your side switch set to lock rotation.

mooseknuckles · 03-16-2015, 06:11 PM

mine...dash and floors were bad! I replaced the whole floor.

kcsa75 · 03-16-2015, 10:10 PM

I thought the rust on my truck was bad, but compared to some of the others....

69chevy lwb · 03-16-2015, 10:15 PM

I only had I little rust to fix. Here's some before and after

69-72 · 03-16-2015, 11:12 PM

I win.

The truck is a GMC Jimmy so this isn't even the original tailgate, it's a better one

Steve Hafner · 03-17-2015, 12:13 PM

. . . .

My 70's toolbox area was pretty bad before it was rebuilt:

. . . .

Willys47 · 03-17-2015, 05:02 PM

and I'm fixing it as best I can

67swb72klb · 03-17-2015, 05:53 PM

This was my first 72 of many... bought for $285 and drove for two years and sold for $350..but that was 30+ years ago

DarkFlounder · 03-17-2015, 06:04 PM

The worst on my 72 is the bed. Puppy for scale...

Got the replacement bed disassembled in the garage awaiting media-blasting/minor dent repair/rust neutralizer/primer/reassembly. Plan on having it back together and on the truck this summer, along with a new fuel tank and exhaust.

I've also got the usual rockers/floorboard/inner-fenders rust, but it's not horrible.

Most worried about the possibility of unrepairable rust around the windshield. Guess I'll have to cut the seal and pop the windshield this summer to see how bad it is.

i'm in the middle of deflowering mine. rust is floridas state flower
