Definetly wasn't in water but if you look at the rear tire on the drivers side it looks like it had sank into the ground. The undercarriage was solid flaky rust.
It was likely beachside here in Daytona and that is a death wish for steel. Even the gas pumps rust down there.

My mom always had the best advice. It was just a tad late. After a fall that involved blood, she'd say....."Careful!"

Re: Nothin Left !!!!!!!!!!

I grew up in Newfoundland, I picked up a suburban 61-62 once for a few interior parts. It was so rusty that the entire roof skin lifted off.
This one reminded me of that old girl, even a very similar colour.

Re: Nothin Left !!!!!!!!!!

Here in New England, sometimes that's as good as we can find to start with, LOL!
why do you think I haven't posted any pics of my suburban, that came from MAINE!?

You think some of that might buff out?

Re: Nothin Left !!!!!!!!!!

I never knew that rubber would rust the steel belts must have rusted from the inside out. I am surprised no one commented on the fact that the cab had a 20 year head start on the 80's stepside bed... yikes

Re: Nothin Left !!!!!!!!!!

I suspect the original owner opted not to get the dealer installed rust-proofing installed.
