Re: rustiest trucks
Before I saw those last few I was gonna post FRANKENTRUCK and it's donor farm truck from Missouri,...but now I'm reluctant to bother.
Anyway,...my less than impressive examples. FRANKENTRUCK as I found it: and alongside the Missouri flatbed donor. It's cab had fractured through the door threshold due to holes in the floorboards. Truely a POS, junkyard bound: The combination of the two worked out well though! Todd.

Re: rustiest trucks
Here's my contender for rustiest truck still in operation ... my 77 GMC plow truck:
 I got tired of looking at the former owner's red spray paint job that had faded to pink so last summer I spruced it up a little with some leftover Rustoleum I had kicking around the garage. Passenger side rocker panel is completely rusted away:  The cab corner was replaced at one time but has rusted through again. The driver side cab corner & rocker had also been replaced and are still holding in there. Cross sills under the bed floor are pretty much gone:  Bed floor is full of holes too. And this is what's left of the driver side cab floor:  The black piece above the rust hole is an old door skin I stuck in there to cover the huge gaping hole. And the wire running over to the frame is what is holding the lower part of the fender in place (the part of the cab/rocker it used to bolt to is gone). Amazingly, the frame is still pretty solid

Re: rustiest trucks
    The front fenders were held on by plumbers strap. When I pulled the strap off the outer skins fell off. The passenger side door was held on by plumbers strap too, when I took it off and opened it up, the door fell off. Bed collapsed when I took it off, folded like a piece of paper. Slowly but surely it's growing new skin...

Re: rustiest trucks
My best friend had an 81 scottsdale 1/2 ton 4x4 it was the worst peice of s**t ive ever seen it ws so bad the cab had no supports the braces inside the doors were rusted evey time u wud shut the door a chunk of rust wud fall off the truck id seen better trucks in a junkyard
we called it the turd it was brown I think he paid 500 bucks for the pos but guess what was the drivetrain... a professionally built 383 stroker that was the best part of the whole truck eventually he bought a rust free body for it and was gonna turn it into a muddin truck but my bro in law convinced him to sell it so my bro in law bought it and parted it out and my best friend regrets sellin his turd every day man that was a fun truck

Re: rustiest trucks
Believe it or not this is good for 700 bucks in iowa. I looked at some many pos before this one that were just gone all i wanted was a good first truck 73-87 for under a grand seriously search iowa craigslist i did for months. There are a lot of trucks with bad floor pans and cab corners so what easy cut and weld new fix even sell the parts in lmc. In iowa its all the beds and fenders bottom of the doors inner wheel wells. SORRY FOR VENTING but i found this board before i bought mine and i see nice cheap trucks and i looked forever if i wanted something that was somewhat rust free it had a skylift and was like $3,000 so frustrating

Re: rustiest trucks
Seeing these pictures makes me thankful I live in a state that doesn't give the hiways a daily ration of salt.

Re: rustiest trucks
Hmm, I'll have to go outside tomorrow and take some pics of my old truck. It was my driver until '02. It spent too many years on the beaches of Galveston.

Re: rustiest trucks
Here's mine. Floorboards, rockers, bed, front inner fenders, and tailgate all have the rot.
