Re: Newbie: red flags when shopping
I've gone to look at very little rust or no rust trucks. Its almost amazing. I understand that someone can say it's a beuatiful color, and when I look at it I hate the color. but rust isn't an opinion it has it or it doesn't. I was looking at two gmc project trucks. while the guy was showing me the trucks telling me it has no rust I was looking at rusted holes and very very very noticable bodo. as if it was never sanded. he was saying perfect bed and it had gapping holes or one long hole above the wheels. the other "rust free truck's" cab was shot. No really not worth trying to fix.
Then again I went to look at a "rust bucket" for 100 bucks. It had a solid floor with some signs of rust just starting on the rockers. only very minor surface rust in a couple places on the bed. BUT the wood bed was rotted. There were places with no wood. When I got there he pointed out the inside of the bed and said how bad the rust was on the floor and you could see all the way to the ground......I didn't know wood could rust like that (lol) I didn't try to talk him down and snatched it up.
both doors were gool also. A nice find for trucks rust here in VA.
