No wonder you buy forklifts and stuff for $700. How much of those are
rust?

My neighbor has a 1954 Ford pickup. Original paint..whats left of it.
He just rebuilt the original engine for the 3rd-4th time in its life.

Body is still just fine and it spent most of its life as an oil field
truck

This is about as bad as they get

and as you will note..thats a 1931 Ford 1 1/2 ton
Which spent 70 yrs working on the oil leases

This what they look like after a bit of sanding and new paint

Poles, pipes, ditches, hills, those are what kill em.



"The ruling class doesn't care about public safety. Having made it
very difficult for States and localities to police themselves, having
left ordinary citizens with no choice but to protect themselves as
best they can, they now try to take our guns away. In fact they blame
us and our guns for crime. This is so wrong that it cannot be an
honest mistake."
