    They are somewhat uncommon. Seems mostly 74's that were built there. My '74 Grabber was built at Wayne (4W93L159085).

    Seems the order of most common to least common is:

    K - Kansas City
    X - St. Thomas
    W - Wayne
    F - Dearborn

    I've only ever seen 3 or 4 Dearborn Mavericks.

    well the only rust on mine are the fenders that are shot its ok going small bumper so getting correct fenders as well so no big deal and just a little rust hole or 2 under my back seat and surface rust in the trunk so easy fixes
