Here in Pa it would be done rusting soon. This one came with tons of snakes and Carpenter ants. Makes you appreciate the nice ones
There is very little weight over the rear drive wheels, so the snow traction stinks. Somehow we made it through the snow and ice back then. I'm not really sure how.
Yeah, we've got a name for it up here in Minnesota. We put over 43,000 tons of rock salt on our roads, some of it mixed with sand, every year. And where does all that lovely sodium chloride go every spring? Right into our lakes, springs, ponds and waterways killing whatever it encounters in the water. We call all that salt Minnesota Car Killer, or Minnesota Disease. Keeps a lot of body shops and new car dealers in business.
Yeah, that would be the canopy vinyl roof. I had to buy a replacement one from Legendary, which was a long and drawn out process. I'm happy with the result, though.
No, that is actually the stock 7 1/4 rear axle that came from the factory. Stock driveshaft too.
Noticed he right rear leaf spring perch coming up through the trunk floor. Very common in older rusted A bodies.
We bought both trucks new in 04 05 the one we drive in the winter. What a difference in the rust from the chemicals on the road, Ever since they started spraying the roads before the snow.
I’m familiar with the canopy. I like it better than full. I have one on my car too.
