I know many of us spend time over on Pelican Parts forum as well, but not all. I just saw a cool rusty winter beater thread over there people might like. Take one very rusty 200k mile 98 S10.

Add 'Great Stuff' Bondo and paint to get this.

Details here. And pics here.

My favorite comment in that thread:

"Put an awful bell on the truck. That way it can offend the blind as well"

I like the juxtaposition of the dazzle-camo ala WW1 and the peace sign!

I think the newspaper, chicken wire, and bondo it took to fill those holes is probably worth more than the truck. I feel sorry for the poor unsuspecting sucker this gets unloaded on.

In reply to D2W:

I don't think there's any intention to unload it on someone. It's his winter beater he's had for years and he just wanted to fix it up for one more winters use. He's done other black/white/stripe combo's on winter beaters before. Trust me for parts of Michigan, that's mint for the age and miles.

I have family in upper Michigan, every couple of years they come down, get a not-too-rusty truck and take it up there to replace their now too rusty to drive truck.
