Dude, you’re just rubbing salt in the (lol salt hahaha) wounds of everyone in the rust belt! It’s cruel for car guys. You’re from here I believe. Don’t understand the struggle!
Hahaha I grew up in Shitcago. In 1990 I had a 75 C20 and an 80 Blazer. Both of which looked like @AuroraGirl truck except 35 years ago.
Feel bad for them fellers….

PS the flowmasters from 1998 on the blue truck just gave up the ghost 2 years ago. They were of legal drinking age for 3 years before they fell apart. It was tragic (exhaust pipe is still ok)!

thats pretty bad!

I plan on getting it repainted white and will do the stripes again! Salt flats style is what I was after with stainless caps

Yeah urban is (still) / was worse than rural.
I recall dad comparing his rust issues to friends up in NW WI and our cars, garaged, but driven basically in the suburbs all winter didn’t last near as long as friends who had the same vehicles out in the sticks up north.
Part of the reason is half the winter up north, most of the roads just stay frozen solid snow packed. In the city they get a half in of salt for every inch of snow and you spend 4 months driving around in leftover turkey brine from Thanksgiving!
No chit, the Blazer at 11 years old looked basically identical to your truck. Tailgate mounts rotted off. Rockers gone. Fenders clearanced for 35s just by how much rusted off and a hole you could put your whole boot thru in the floor pan. I was honestly surprised a door didn’t fall off!
But the one winter we lived up in Park Falls WI, in 2000, I recall washing mine and the wife’s trucks real well in December once it got good and cold and they stayed clean for a couple months at least. Unless we left the woods and drove to a real city.
