Bought A Beautiful Basket Case

Welcome aboard!

Pics or it didn't happen.

You say your truck is "mostly made of rust" but that you also live in Denver, something doesn't add up. You talking surface rust? That's cosmetic. I bought my 'Burb on the front range (it wasn't cared for in the least) and the frame is still factory black after spending 7 years here in the land of rust (New England). My old man has pulled Datsuns out of fields in CO after 20-30 years and they had some slight bubbling in the lower quarters. Stuff doesn't rust out there, you're semi-arid. Please show me this truck that's "made out of rust", or tell me where it spent most of its life lol

Sure. It's what they call "rust free" in Michigan. But I can put my hand through the rear arches. And driver's floorboard. And the fenders and doors are pretty much trash. The frame has been very throughly rust proofed by diffs, PS pump, transmission, and maybe the transfer case flinging various oils all over the undercarriage. So I have that going for me.

Pics to follow.

Welcome from the PNW!

Hi! My grandmother lived in Lakewood my whole life, and I have extended family in Puyallup!

they only started using that crap out there the last handful of years. Unless someone completely didn't understand the concept of rinsing it off once in a while, I bet the truck is still more solid than dude is giving himself credit for

In fairness, the frame is fine. The body is mostly trash. But I have a plan . . .
