Not So Pro 3

[redline4]

20 plus years back when I first moved out to CO, and I would go home to WI to visit a few times year, I'd take a 40 foot trailer load full of cabs & beds, and fenders, to a few big swap meets in WI, with rust free western truck parts. That stuff sold like crack in a ghetto, I always sold everything I took there. A bunch of times I even made trips back there without a swap meet to attend, once people had my name & number, and I had enough stuff pre-sold, I would go haul a load of parts to WI and disperse it among 3-4 guys that fix & flip trucks in WI. Buzz back out west with a pile of cash, and start buying more trucks to strip. It was a nice side hustle for a while.

Square body Chevy's were the bread & butter. Some fords in the mix. Not many guys were fixing 1970's-80's dodges at the time, so I only took dodge stuff if it was pre-sold on request. Chevy stuff I could not get enough it to WI to meet demand. One trip CO to WI, I sold two square body chevy beds and a cab & doors right off the back of my trailer in eastern Iowa. I stopped to get steak & eggs at a truck stop, came out to leave, 3 guys were walking around checking out the trailer load parts, one of them asked if any of it was for sale, I said hell yeah it's all for sale, 30 minutes later they were back with a empty trailer, and cash, and we unloaded the parts they wanted.

My 2012 started life at an ag supply company my wife worked at for many years. It lived at the fertilizer plant and pulled spreaders. It rarely saw road in winter. Rockers, cab corners, box sides are all gone or near to it.

My 13 was new, garage kept, did see winter use but washed often. There's zero rust on that truck.

I don't know about these days, but Mopar used to have 7 year rust out warranty. I think the big 3 all had some body rust warranty at one time or another. Before thay gave up on it.

In 1998 mother mopar put brand new doors & rocker panels on my 1995 dodge under warranty. I washed that truck thoroughly once a week, in our heated shop at work. But after 3-1/2 winters of salt exposure, the lower door seems were releasing, and the rockers were starting to bubble. They replaced them completely, not just with patch panels either. They drilled the spot welds and hung new rockers on, along with brand new OEM doors.

Probably not. I don't care either, I doubt I will ever buy another new truck.

Too much electronic crap on the new ones for me, I like analog chit.

A guy I used to work with had a king ranch F250, it had them fancy seats. We car pooled every other week, so I rode in it 6 days every other week. Them seats were not enough to turn me on, in heated or AC mode.

There's no need for all that IMFO. My blue 2006 dodge has vinyl seats and rubber floor, no carpet, and I like it that way. Sure the seats are cold when it's -20, oh well, that's why my balls have hair on them.

Another thing I don't like is navigation, I don't need some puter telling me where & when to turn the steering wheel. I know where I'm at, and where I'm going, and what fugging roads I'm going to take to get there.

I took him to Adrian MI last summer to get a new truck he bought at a dealer there. That damn talking navigation about drove me nuts, so he turned it off 100 miles into that trip. In approximately 200 yards turn left, STFU, I know where to turn at. FFS

I didn't need to listen to that talking BS for 1500 miles. 1500 miles of interstate there was no need to listen to that crap. I drove that king ranch within 30 miles of the dealer we were heading to, without the navigation, then he flipped it on and it talked us to the dealership. Than it was turned right the fug back off, and I drove that king ranch all the way back to CO, without looking at a map or that navigation.
