Dear All,
i'm looking for a decent 3500 with not too much surprises/ work (not much experience or ambition for welding etc).
I've seen a nice looking and driving a '72 3500 yesterday in Germany and have noticed some small rust-spots and a weird looking crack above the rear wind-shield/ roof panel.
I've not been able to remove the rear seats and carpets in front of the owner. The trunk has gotten a new welded in floor and (when i pulled up the upholstery) batteryspace. Wheelarches and sill look and feel good (as much as visible because of thick layer of tectyl or something) as does the trailing arm/suspension.
But: at the door rubbers some small spots of rust are visible: see below: is this an announcement of horror underneath the surface?
And: at the rear windshield a strange crack is visible: could this be a rusted-through roofpanel, or a hardened seal or something? See below.
I hope you can give me some advice on how to interpret these issues!
Thanks,
