Re: Great 68 CL deal!

Mileage has very little to do with how much rust a truck has (I guess you could argue that a truck with low miles in a salted area saw a lot less salt than one with a lot of miles and therefore is less rusty), but IMO owner care has a lot more to do with it. A truck with 500,000 could have zero rust if it was parked indoors every night and washed regularly, as opposed to a truck with 50,000 that's been parked outside it's whole life and only "washed" when it rains. Then there's location, are the roads salted, etc.

Looks like a decent truck for 1K.
