My Old Red Truck

Well before my Black CC I had a 95 SC. It was not a show truck by any mean but had some rust bubbles and a few scatches. But last fall it came back for some TLC to the shop after the owner couldn't make it run right. IT WAS A MESS!! Good thing I love my Black truck cause I would have cried when I saw my old truck! I found the pics on my phone so I figured I would give you all a look.

Here are a some pictures of it when I owned it.



And cell pics of it now. Sorry about the goofy angles!

In defense of 'taking care', in Michigan, with all the salt, its more like planned obsolescent. If you keep a car or truck to long, you will be driving with a seat on a frame, LOL

My 2000 is already rotting out. Gotta love snow and salt!

Your not kidding there. The rust isn't the surprising part. Just the general misrepair and trashed interior, mismatched colors.

Oh yeah I forgot to say that the mis matched body panels are cause the kid that bought it from me totaled it (bent frame) so his dad bought it back and just slapped some sheet metal on it.

This is why I'd rather not see my rigs after I sell them most times. I try hard to take good care of my vehicles and keep them looking nice, it would sicken me too to see one in such a sad state like that.

I know what you were talking about Mike, Its just upsetting to me that rusk will just take it away from you slowly no matter how hard you try talking care of it. I've had them undercoated, doesn't make them last that much longer.
