How bad is this rust spot? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Pont406 · 05-06-2008, 07:24 AM

I keep my truck outside all the time. Sprinklers are close by but I never paid attention. Today I was greasing u-joints and found rust on the right side of a cab. I didn't see it before. Is my cab done? Time for another truck?

Cyclone44 · 05-06-2008, 07:34 AM

That is almost as bad as mine. I had some rust in this spot.

Mister laugh · 05-06-2008, 08:09 AM

Is this a joke? If not I agree you need another cab, and I don't think you should scrap that one......you wouldn't want to help the Chinese take over the world any more would you........... no you should send it to me and i will properly dispose of that cab since it is obviously completely ruined.

**fine69** · 05-06-2008, 08:12 AM

Oh man, i would scrap that truck. Let me come take it off your hands.

HoupPhotography · 05-06-2008, 09:57 AM

Ummm, what rust? oh wait a minute, yeah I agree, it's junk..... I'll be in L.A. on Tuesday, I'll bring my trailer and tow it away for you, minus fuel costs & labor I'll give ya 500 for it..?

Wipe that off with a wet rag and quit acting silly. I have a "little" rust in the same area, sometimes my cat crawls up thru the hole and lays on my dash to sun bathe when it's cool out.

greasy68 · 05-06-2008, 04:47 PM

you guys are hilarious. That rust would scare you if you were new to this. It scares me still.

**jerry moss** · 05-06-2008, 04:51 PM

ANY rust scares me, thats why i only use rustfree sheetmetal on my projects. it is out there if you hunt hard enough, not as plentiful as it was a few years back.

If that is what you call rust I cant show you my trucks bad spots it would hurt you eyes and might cause some short circuts in da brain.

jayharrell · 05-06-2008, 05:54 PM

i got more rust then that under my nails when i replaced my rocker.

Not bad, but does need some attention to keep it from getting worse in a couple of years.

msgross · 05-06-2008, 06:48 PM

ya'll suck,

you want to see rust, check out my build thread! I might not keep any of the sheet metal before the build is over......

Blue85 · 05-06-2008, 07:26 PM

Just come have a look at trucks here in Canada, 90% of the time that piece isnt even there!

tcb-1 · 05-06-2008, 07:47 PM

guess I lost my vision for a second because I swear I didn't see rust anywhere!!!!!

**michael bustamante** · 05-06-2008, 08:34 PM
