My '67 Corvette lived it's early years within 15 miles of this truck, (may have come from the same dealer) and has minimal surface rust and negligible pot metal pitting.
This truck had a certain coolness about it!!

I lived in the metro St Paul area for 67 years before moving across the river to WI. I bought a '67 GTO in Minot years ago, that had Colorado plates on it. It seemed too rusty in the few pics of it for those 2 locations but I dragged my trailer all the way up there, the second half of the trip in a friggen blizzard. I was shocked at the extent of the rust to the rest of the vehicle but ended up buying it anyway. The owner kept throwing more stuff in the deal so I wouldn't leave without it. Once I got the PHS, it made sense, as it was delivered to PA and, obviously, lived there for many years. That car was the turning point in my life of being a mechanic and turned me into a panel replacer. I had to buy a mig, plasma cutter, many tools and clamps and a rotisserie. The frame was so rusty, it had been repaired with donor sections in the past and fell apart when I lifted the body off. I drove to Oklahoma for a frame and donor body parts. Yeah, I learned a LOT about restoration on that car...
