But they sure do look nice from 40 feet in the pictures, don't they?

If you look real close at the pics, you can see the rust in almost every seam, not to mention the front of the hoods and windshield frames/tops. By the time you had is shipped to CA, you'd have a nice, rusty, $5000 (or whatever) truck that may or may NOT even run (and that's if you live in CA and can pick it up at the port)!
