Man this place looks different than last time I was on here, but I guess it's been something along the lines of a year. I'm assuming the same great group of guys is behind it though. ;-) So... my truck is in pieces, no bed, no hood or fenders, no gas tank, doors (well sorta) etc. Hopefull

NOT THE OCEAN!!!!!
One of my trucks lived away from the ocean most of its life and was rust free, solid, sweet, absolutely beautiful. The next owner lived near the ocean. I bought it 2 yrs after he got it. By then the salt air fog had eaten a fender from the cowl to the bottom at the door opening, rotted both door bottoms and started the cowl rotting. The salt never went away, even though it has had several feet of rain dumped on it since I got it. Now the cowl has melted away, looks like swiss cheese, the roof pillar joints above the door latch are bubbling BAD and the gutter is rusting thru above the windshield. SALT is certain death. This was a sweet truck and was TOTW yrs ago. Sad, sad, sad crying
