ATTN Jerry Moss. Heres our RUST!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Joesjunk** · 12-03-2002, 10:38 PM

LOL!! I talked to Jerry Moss on the phone yesterday (Very nice guy by the way) and he hasn't seen what a rusty truck looks like!! You see he is spoiled out in cali w/o the rust problems!!

I though Jerry might get a kick out of the Jimmy I parted. It actually came to Missouri from Minnesota.

*Gee_Emm* · 12-03-2002, 11:06 PM

Ok you win

ebfabman · 12-03-2002, 11:14 PM

OUCH! that hurts my eyes.............

Iron-Butt · 12-03-2002, 11:18 PM

I can hear that truck falling apart.

bigvinnie · 12-03-2002, 11:30 PM

looks like all it needs is a body, front clip, interior, top, drivetrain, electrical and a little paint and you'd have a clean driver...

sakohntr · 12-03-2002, 11:49 PM

I'll vouch for him. That IS A MINNESOTA TRUCK!!!!

DarkFox1 · 12-03-2002, 11:53 PM

I'll just say what I said aloud when I saw your truck

OH MY GOD!!

*Shane* · 12-04-2002, 12:16 AM

Holy Smokes!

jeffbo · 12-04-2002, 12:48 AM

I'm in South Dakota so I can definitely relate to Joesjunk. You California guys are lucky, compared to those of us in the "Rust Belt" of America.

da-burb · 12-04-2002, 01:21 AM

I don't think you can blame the looks of that truck on the rust. Looks like the sawzall and the impact did more damage to it. I am guessing it looked just like this truck in the picture.

I have the Fuggly truck next to it, and it is far worse for rust.

JimKshortstep4x4 · 12-04-2002, 11:50 AM

We have rust in Michigan, also!

yellowgmc · 12-04-2002, 12:34 PM

**Desert Rat** · 12-04-2002, 12:54 PM

Nice and funky!!!Looks like it has a good wheelcover! Is the frame rusty to?

yellowgmc · 12-04-2002, 01:04 PM

not anymore!!!!

bobs409 · 12-04-2002, 01:54 PM

Aw, those rusty trucks are just broken in! Lots of life left. Those are builders in most states! LOL

Chris H · 12-04-2002, 02:44 PM

Ok, I have to confess here...
I am the one who sold the 72 Jimmy to joesjunk. I said it was very "rusty", he just thought I said "rust free". They sound a lot alike, and after he sent me many thousands of dollars, I was not about to correct him!

That blue 72 Jimmy did look pretty good in the pictures, but it was about the rustiest truck I have ever seen. A real shame, it had about 80k original miles on it, but sat in a wet shed rotting for years before I bought it. It rusted from the bottom up, and everytime the door got slammed shut about 5 pounds of rust would fall out. It did run and drive pretty nice, if you dont count the exploding brake lines which I found out about at the first stop sign I came to on the way home!

Every once in a while, you can still find a pretty nice original here in Minnesota... like this 67 C10 with 34k original miles.

*Randy70C-10* · 12-04-2002, 03:34 PM

Joe, that jimmy is a cream puff. You shoulda seen my 72.

I wish I had a west coast truck!

1971LT1SWBPOSI373 · 12-04-2002, 05:04 PM

All you need to do is stuff some rags into them holes and shoot her with some flat black rustoleum. Chicks will dig it.

crazy longhorn · 12-04-2002, 05:13 PM

That looks about like an Illinois truck! we got lots of salt here too. I have to agree with Randy.......those left coast trucks are fun to play with

blue_69 · 12-04-2002, 05:40 PM

**tkeduk8r** · 12-04-2002, 06:04 PM

BUT there is a benfit to livin up here... the truck bodies rust out before the alot of the other valuable parts do... makes junkin up here better than other areas... ive beeen pretty fortuante....
