Yes it keeps going down here too, wish it would get below $1.00, but I could live with $2.95.

Yeah I remember those days too, I can remember when my dads' 1969 Camaro with a fairly built engine was my dads' daily driver.

Re: 2 problems i need help with

Actually surprisingly around here there are a lot of squares still driving around. Not many sitting they all get bought up around here. Guess everyone wants them around here.

Re: 2 problems i need help with

some are some aint, i got lucky on mine and it was 100% rust free but it had i nice warm garage to sit in all of its life. most of them have the usual cab corner fender well rust but its usually not that bad because we usually dont have bad winters so they dont salt the roads too much

Re: 2 problems i need help with

That's I figured out here you'd be lucky to find one that doesn't have any rust. And if you did it would cost a fortune.

Re: 2 problems i need help with

Haha I have always thought that too but I guess not. If you find trucks out here older than 20 years old, they will be here forever no matter how rusted out they will be.
