I grew up in southwestern Ohio. The salt they use on the roads in the winter, combined with the year around wet climate, was horrible on vehicles.
Always loved the classic Chevy trucks but they were all so horribly rusty. My dad bought a '72 C20 new and I watched painfully as it became one again with planet Earth.
Then when we moved to Colorado about 10 years ago it was truly amazing the quantity & quality of old trucks lurking around old barns and in farm fields.
When I bought my '65 here in Colorado it was priced fair, but would have been worth twice what I paid back in the Buckeye State.
