Actually theres a guy near here that brings rust free older trucks from Oregon
to sell here in rust-land. When we were looking at pickups a couple years ago
he had an '89 Chevy 1500 extended cab, no rust, ~80,000 miles for $9,500. I
thought that price was absurd for that old a truck so we passed, it was a
pretty nice truck though.

I got to thinking about the Mexicans I would see driving on highway 59
in Texas and I-40 through Arkiesaw who would be driving a convoy of
small pickups, say 4 of them, with a half of another on each truck --
they would cut them in half behind the cab then stack the bed or the
front on the back of another complete truck, that way 4 guys could haul
6 trockas back to Mexico to sell. Sometimes they would also be towing
another one similarly loaded, 2 guys could haul 6 trockas. Quite safe...
Mitch could buy an old pickup, load up the Sparkie, and sell the trocka
when he got back to wherever he is going.
