Post by: Leadfoot on September 19, 2006, 08:04:00 am: I didn't know the trashbag tint was an option that year
Seriously,find a parts truck would be your best best..but you can do it..mine was almost that bad when I started on it,a little less rust though and a lot thinner wallet now..

After s/he gets done, s/he will still have saved probably $20-30K vs. a new truck.
