Re: [Amc-list] How bad do cars rust in South Dakota?

["Armand Eshleman" <aje1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would agree 100% with Todd, I live about 45 miles from the South Dakota
border in Minnesota.
Salt is very prevalent here, but not so much in SD. I routinely see trucks
and trailers headed East or to
metro areas with car/truck bodies on the trailers. These bodies are coming
out of rural SD, Wyoming,
and places similar. Still things worth finding in those parts of the
country. These hulks are not very rusty as
compared to salt rust through that I see in old MN cars.
