Hoping to finally get this '67 home

We here in Canuckistan have to go that far to get anything worth fixing. My sis lives in Cali and I'm always drooling over all the mint old metal while I'm there.

I don't know what the heck you are talking about lol--I'd say at least 70%+ of the 67-72 trucks I see here have considerable rust; and I'd say about 10-15% more have catastrophic game-over rust. I very rarely see a truck that could be painted and driven without any rust repair whatsoever.

I read once that the CA sun bakes the roof drip rail seam sealer, and that allows water to get through and rust the cabs--and that's why CA trucks are often so badly rusted.
I own two original CA trucks and both were catastrophic--roofs, floors rusted; cowls with huge holes, no such thing as rockers or cab mounts anymore. A can of soup could fit through the cab corner..... I mean RUINED.


Anyways, thats my rant lol

'Cuz where I come from, those percentages apply to 10 year old trucks.
