I would bet that many of the parts which you have listed began to rust before the trucks left the assembly line. As far as how these trucks are judged, well that opens a whole new can of worms. There is only one person who judges my truck and he types real slow and clumsily and is occasionally misunderstood by some as sarcastic (sometimes however, they are correct in their presumption)
