What is under the carpet?

[dkmcgowan]

So I have an 89 Comanche Eliminator, red...  The body was in good shape, and there was zero rust on it when I purchased it.

 

But....

 

Everyone says just wait until you look under the carpet, all Comanches are rusted under the carpet.

 

It's been a couple of months and I'm finally doing my conversion from 2wd Auto to 4wd manual, so I decided to remove the seats and the carpet.

 

Look what I discovered...

 

Perfect floors!!!

Here were mine. Truck is 100% rust free otherwise.

 

 

 

Lots of pinholes in the passenger side. I'm going to need to replace some metal eventually.

That looks too good to be real! Was the truck in a nitrogen storage facility since it came off the line?

Must be something about red MJs...

[87MJTIM]

Red dye #2.  Causes cancer. It was why they stopped making red M&Ms in the 70's.

 

Oh no, wait.  Yours doesn't have cancer.  I guess they were wrong.

Must be a red thing

Just dirt there

[ParadiseMJ]

No rust...just dirt too!  This MJ was a farm truck before I got my hands on it.  Didn't have carpets, rubber, or padding. Not red!

Those may be the nicest floor pans I've seen in a long time!
