I have a 1987 245 and rusty oh rusty. I replaced the tailgate with one from a '91 after the negative space overtook the positive space. Had some major body work done around the windshield and can fir my fist easily into the rocker panels. But that's Minnesota winters.

The guy I bought it from said that during the '87 production run is when they started using all galvanized body parts. No real corroburation to the story, but I believed him.
