That is my 17 yr old sons....and we live in the rust belt...lol He has purchased the patch panels and cab corners for it...one of these days we will tackle that. Not a bad truck for $1200...
Beats paying 50 Large on a new one strapped to payments for 7 years. Yeah that rust is a constant battle working to keep it back on the vehicles in the rust belt. Constantly Painting/Undercoating, sealing up the undercarridges to save the daily drivers.
Just got a hold of a new slop vehicle to run in the mud, salt, and down gravel roads . . keeps the other clean vehicles nice if they don't get slopped up on the bad days.
Just sealed behind the front wheels on the undercarriage on this 2002 slop vehicle today. Let the paint run out the bottoms.
