Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!

I was thinking that Dan gets it on what "Patina" is. Most guys idea of great patina is that the rust hasn't eaten clear though the sheet metal but is so etched into it that no amount of sanding with 36 grit will ever get it to where you can put a few coats if epoxy primer on it without the rust pits showing through.

Still for 10K I want to be able to get in any truck I buy for that price that doesn't come with a parts collection of pieces that were bought for it and go with it and drive the truck home.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
