In early 2000's I drove from AZ to Southern Michigan to buy an International pickup. Had been looking for this particular model for some time. Knowing that these trucks had an issue with rust, I questioned the seller a number of times on how much rust the truck had. I was always told "NO RUST".
Should have known better, but I hooked up my trailer and headed out. Got there2 days later. Stopped, got out and walked over to it. #1- Opened drivers door and lifted the mat - RUST. Looked at lower door hinge pocket - RUST. Opened hood and looked at the cowl - RUST. Seller walked out the door and said "what do you think?" Said "you told me "NO RUST". He replied what do you expect, it's from Michigan. Told him that I "just drove 2000 miles for nothing". Got in my truck and left. Only good thing about that trip is that I got to spend an evening with an aunt that I hadn't seen in probably 20 years.
