[QUOTE="Jcpstrat, post: 247425, member: 3034"] [HEADING=3][B]Dpchef66 up ... I had a '74 for around 13 years (never in storage), and had no serious issues with it but when it comes to frame rust, both C2's and C3's seem to have one area in common to check for. Look at the frame (just in front of the rear wheels), where the side rails end and the frame kicks up over the suspension. There's a plate on the end of that side rail that can be very telling about the frames general condition. [/B][/HEADING] The picture below is the passenger side of my '74.
