    A friend of mine had an '84 and there wasn't one panel that had not rotted thru.

    If your roof has rust holes, I'd better there is more serious issues. You might want to try and find one in a dry area like Arizona, New Mexico or Texas.
    I see some '92s and newer rotting away too, around here. I have a '92 Chebbie p/u. The first thing I did when I bought it B 4 it even got dirty for the first time was take it to an undercoating shop. Local dealership didn't offer it back then. I have no rust through yet. Keep the fingers crossed. Maybe the undercoating trick is paying off???
