Correct amount of rust for a life in Pacific Northwest?

Truck looks great! Nice find.

Looks rust free to me. Then again, I can see through my fenders. Also, were rocker panels optional? My truck doesn't have 'em.

lol! Not that I’m aware of, but I never meet the seller. Found it on Craigslist($4k 120k miles) Never heard of the place but, when expanded the little map I realized it was just over the mountains from my sister and brother-in-law. They had acreage on the little Nestucca River at the time. Got the deal done quick before anyone could get out from a city.

Now back to the Meth. They moved out there from Beaverton in the mid/late 90’s. They were quickly greeted by the local authorities that wanted a “look-see” in their barns. Once they were satisfied they weren’t in the Meth business they left them alone.

I guess it must still be an industry around there?

South of where I live in Eugene, there is what is known as the meth capital of Oregon, Cottage Grove. You would think that Eugene would be, with all the homeless but Cottage Grove is, in a lot of Oregonians opinion. Fortunately, in Eugene, I live in a fairly upscale neighborhood and on a dead end street. We all watch over each other in this neighborhood. I have all my tools insured heavily.

Oh, it's an industry all over Oregon. That whole valley area of Sheridan, Willamina to Grande Rounde and the Confederated Tribal lands are in such a state of depression. I'm out of the city area and in the rural county. But we still have drug murders or more of rural drug murder body dumps and the now and again, battery or generator swiped. Power goes out and they drive up and down the roads listening for them running. Then wait until the owner is asleep and steel them. Last winter, had a guy down the road lost two cords of wood. They came in and took it at night. Weird stuff like that.

Remember, to get rid of the lichen from a PNW vehicle is to use copper powder on it. Get the lichen wet and put the pure copper powder on it and it will kill the spores. Moss you just have to keep pressure washing until it stops coming out. Like I said before, years later. It will be the black looking dirt you get every time you wash.

Naw, that is the ****** capital. Fentanyl is getting to be the drug of choice around most of Oregon now. Went to the VA in West Linn a few weeks back. Seen the Paramedics working on a woman down the road. Leaving that area, they were loading her into the coroner's van. Now dad picks up a free Narcon every time we go into the Portland VA.

Only time I venture off the interstate in Cottage Grove is for the Stearman fly in. Don't have any other wants or desires to visit there, other than the airport.

Grants Pass here. Fentanyl is a major problem around here. I see it almost daily when working with the public.

Meth was displaced by ****** very quickly here. Crime didn’t spike for the most part - that’s how cheap it is.

This is not how I thought the world would be when I reached this age.

At 71, I see hell all over here in Eugene and I want to get somewhere to live my later years and work on vehicles when I want. This will not be it for sure. Trying for something near coast.

So high concentration of drugs/low percentage of rust.

Spot on. The milder temps draws the druggies/homeless to the area.
