That is what I like to refer to as patina from the ground up instead of the top down!

BIGBLU 72 · 02-01-2010, 11:50 PM

i think that i had a blazer at one time that was worse! ill see if i can find a picture

*highperf4x4* · 02-01-2010, 11:54 PM

I opened the door on one in a pasture and it fell off. Couldn't really tell anything else since the johnson grass was taller than the truck and my imagination led me to believe I heard a rattler so I boogied. Johnson grass burns on my face too.

there was a guy on the other side of town, had a 68 C/10 LWB. First time I met him, I saw him drilling and bolting a speed limit sign in as a floor for his truck. Hile MANY mid-westerners have done this for the part where our feet go, he was doing it for a place to bolt the rear feet of his seat.
I went by his place again a couple years later, the bed had rusted away from the bed floor and fell down, basicly, off the truck.
I know where there's a 71/72 here in town where the tail gate rusted off the bed.

wow, looks like it was parked in a salt lake

allthrottle,nobottle · 02-02-2010, 12:52 AM

wow

I am so glad rust doesn't grow here, it must suck to have to deal with it! Do you guys use some kind of rust killer? A rusticide? Does rust bite? How long does rust live? Does it stink when it dies? What happens if you touch it? Looks yucky! Other than metal, what does it eat? Will it eat people? Is it slimy? I hope it never migrates to Northern California like killer bees migrating north! That would be scary! People with a rust problem shouldn't drive their infected cars up here, I think they should be turned around at the border if their car or truck has a rust infestation!

Pont406 · 02-02-2010, 01:11 AM

yeah, this picture dosn't make sense! I don't think it's possible to rust like that. Maybe it's a photoshop?

**John Fabris** · 02-02-2010, 01:46 AM

I challange!!!!

this 72 GMC 1 ton longhorn was pulled from a yard located on the cliffs of Bolinas CA (north of SF) Note, the doors and top of cab came off during the ride home... Was a 402/400 which I still have and that will be going into my new 68 panel.

Dang...

**GruntMoanCough** · 02-02-2010, 03:59 AM

I've seen stuff as bad as what's posted, just never really occured to me to document them.

I suppose beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

This is what I found when I removed the bed liner.

Lippyp · 02-02-2010, 09:16 AM

Blimey, have they been parked in a swamp?

bigsnookmaster · 02-02-2010, 09:38 AM

From what I've seen, some people call that "Surface Rust" Lol

Just a few patch panels and a little TLC, that truck could be back on the road in no time!!!!
This one was NOT built at a GM plant. This truck had to have been a ford disguised as a Chevy

BluTrukker · 02-02-2010, 10:41 AM

Little bondo, little rattle can, and you'll have a driver!

junkyardjohn · 02-02-2010, 11:50 AM

Kinda reminds me of all those years i lived in michigan............... On a calm night you could hear the corn grow & the cars rust..

**yote1234** · 02-02-2010, 12:10 PM

Good Point. I think you are right and it was fixed up if my memory serves me correctly.

big_al_71 · 02-02-2010, 12:26 PM

Rust is as bad as cancer there is no cure for it.....

**67cheby** · 02-02-2010, 12:30 PM

if it was for sale on ebay it would say....only needs about 2000 more spent on it to be a completely restored showwinner
