Re: 59 Disc brake conversion using Toyota parts
I recon my truck is a "survivor". Its had a light, thin blow-over.
Its present condition must be 99% original, but has had a very thorough clean. I also believe the inner wheel fenders were replaced by new. The truck spent most of its life in the "Karoo" and arid part of our country very similar (I think) to Arizona - extremely hot in summer, rather cool in winter (but still very dry) - hence very little rust. The underside of load bed tells the real story. The truck spent most of its 56k miles driving on dusty dirt roads - as can also be seen by the dust on the inside of the gauge cluster.
I still want to clean that...
