Re: WOW........2023 original miles

I don't doubt this beautiful pickup in the least. I've owned several very low mile examples and 40+ years of even garaged storage can cause a certain amount of surface rust to undercarriage and engine areas. Many factory metal pieces were never even as much coated with paint or preservative and instantly surfaced rusted before they arrived at the dealer. The exhausts were carbon steel not any galvanized or stainless steel parts back then. In most cases, humidity and warmer air over cool concrete floors will make even lightly painted items surface rust over years of storage.

I got a couple of other projects now so I am not on this one but it is tempting. If Joesjunk is bidding on it, rest assured it is the real deal. He knows everything there is to know about factory original vehicles. Good luck Joe.
