I knew my truck was pretty rust free, but I didn't know how good it was until I started to try and find a panel that I could carry into the paint shop for a scan. As it originally belong to the Las Vegas Valley District Water Company, it had been painted in their corporate colours, covering almost all of the factory "Vegas Blue".
I thought I would try the underside of one of the wings and gave the strange coating a good soaking with paraffin............... But when I wiped it off, oh my gawd 
I knew it had spent all it's life in the desert, but I wasn't expecting it to be that good

| Wow. Cars that don't crumble away beneath the dirt and paint are virtually unknown to us over here! |

| O-N, how do you think that I dared to buy my 300 sight unseen? It came from Boulder City, Nevada..... |
