It's not just the body's that rust.
Oil cooler on a 5.4 !
Yep Detroit is built over a salt mine and they use a lot of it!

Oh yeah I would have been livid if someone else had done it but it is behind the door so it would have had to be open when it was kicked... and I say kicked cz I have step bars and it looks like exactly where the top of a boot would land if you slid it forward.

Yeah I HATE Rust on vehicles especially when it is eatin the truck on the outside and making it look like crap. BUT I am not spending the money to fix the Rust as it is too far gone in my opinion but I also do not have a truck payment and mechanically it is solid so I do not want to get a new truck and start paying payments. Heck I just drove a 37 allis (3500lbs) on a 18' trailer for 3 hours one way and had zero issues. Truck runs great... just looks ugly lol the rust will take it sooner rather than later tho so I foresee a newer truck in the next couple years

I'm always telling the neighborhood crumb snatchers to stay away from my truck.

Do they look real enough from the back thru the tinted glass to get you stopped by the authorities ?

I would be worried the police or another motorist would mistake them for real guns....
And mistake you for a terrorist !....

Or worse yet some stupid kid breaking the window out to steal guns......

I know what you mean,

To be honest, they will only be there for shows etc. rather than everyday use

Remember when it was actually ok to have guns hanging there and it not be an issue?

I don't think it has ever been OK in the UK.
