I had a boss once that had a daily driver work truck beat at least that bad.It was the same color,too.With red another yellow ,some blue and a primered hood(painted so it wouldn't rust after the great carb fire of '92).It had also had a service bed installed at some time by an other than professional.We took the ladder rack off of it when the front leg rusted thru and it looked like the rack might come thru the windshield.The best feature of thet truck was the auto oil fill option(a very rare owner added semi-pro device).It had a hose run from the oil filler cap theru the firewall and into the cab to a funnel.When the oil pressure dropped, the passengers responsibility was to pour a couple quarts in.We drove that truck on vacation from Amarillo Tx. to Corpus Christy Tx.(around 800) miles each way.22 quarts of oil.He finally had to retire the truck though.The steering got so loose that it turned left into a tree about 3:00 am one sat am.I think it just got tired and decided to commit suicide.He had put 400,000 miles on it in 11 years and guessed it had probably 2-300,000 when he got it.
