1985 Chevrolet C20 Patina

• The blue crew-cab long-bed truck sits low on large white wheels, with chrome bumpers and grille bright against the body.
• Heavy rust patina streaks run down the hood, doors, cab and bed sides on nearly every panel — the rusted finish is the truck's whole look, and it is extensive.
• Close-ups show rust spots in the door jambs and cab pillars as well as on the outer panels.
• The bed floor itself is painted dark blue and looks clean and solid, unlike the rusted outer bed sides.
• The blue velour bench seats, front and rear of the crew cab, look clean with no splits visible, and the blue dash is intact.
• The engine bay shows a modern LS-style swap with a cone-filter intake; the inner fenders and firewall carry surface rust and the coolant bottles are yellowed with age.
• No underside photos in the set, so the frame, cab floors and the underside of the bed can't be judged.

Money: At $49,100 the photos buy the patina look, the stance and wheels, a clean blue interior and a modern engine swap — but with this much visible rust, whether it is only surface-deep underneath is the one thing that can't be judged, and it decides the value at this price.
