Whenever I see one of these rust buckets I think the owner should be required to give out certificates for tetanus shots.
Naturally occurring rust is ugly enough but when someone goes through the extra work to fake it I think it's really stupid.
my bet is that is paint, and not rust.
there is a technique to make paint look just like that rust.
my painter did it a few times back in the 90's. i had no interest in it so never asked how he did it.
when he was done he clear coated it than scuffed the clear coat to make it look like rust. but it was sealed.
Now that's cool!
As a wee lad my uncle took me out on a seismic survey site in the backwater of Mississippi. They would clear a straight line path through the jungle, drill holes every so often and place charges at specific depths, then set them all off and record the ground vibrations. I can sure picture something like that rig being used to push there way through the jungle.
A buddy sent me this pic. The only info I got with it is that it was somewhere in the east mountains (on the other side of the mountains from Albuquerque) Its a shame he didn't get more pics of it
One of the reasons I've always liked the mid fifty Fords over the Chevrolets is the shallow bed. The Chevrolet cab always seemed to tower above the bed box. This thing doesn't have that issue.

That is true, Ken. Ford had Chevy beat in the cubic foot load capacity. My Dad had 12" oak sideboards on his 48 ¾ ton Chevy to increase the bed depth.
