The only rust I have is in the rear window mechanism. Needs to be all replaced to make work again. Rear bumper is 36 in off the ground which is about same height of oil pan. I've submerged/driven it in slush/water that was over the tracks. It has a 350 cid, turbo 350 trans, H/L range Operating videos at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDg5Cq145uU
