guys i see a lot of nice; ,really built good,, high or low they all come in the category of just great,,i love these trucks,,but i must say that the guys that live from the Midwest,,and northwest catch hell with the rust problem,, some are really terrible looking and some can survive the clean up,, i know that as a 1970 Chevy 1/2'er owner I'm OK and don't have any rust on my truck, the desert won't let you get near any if it can help it.. but for me i have used navel jelly for the rust and motor shine to clean most of the engine and compartment . it amazes me how many guys just love to work on their truck and make them come out like jewels and i applaud you for that ,, it takes a lot of work and a long time is involved in the work.. so for my final statement i say" keep ON TRUCKIN"
