Nice ride!

Pity my Scout isn’t roadworthy. The salt hammered it. The doors won’t even close anymore.

I’m not sure why I keep it, it’s not likely to ever be on the road again. Sigh.

That is the problem with most of these trucks from up north. Especially, from New York state where all the rock salt comes from. Rock Salt is cheaper than sand to put on the roads.

The Fords were the worst though. Those things started rusting out as soon as you drove them off the lot.

I remember replacing the floor on the driver side of my 1975 GMC pick up truck. I riveted it in place. I replaced it with galvanized steel. That was typical in the 1980s because the cars just rusted out in the Buffalo area.
