Dear forum members. Is there any way to tell if my new truck that I bought used from New Orleans was flood damaged?

See attached photo and ask any questions.

It's completely organic and invisible to radar.

Lost it at the golf course for 3 days!

The only problem is the neighborhood dogs and their owners lack of a pooper scooper.

Bob's GPS system got him really annoyed. He knew the moss is greener on the North side of the truck, but it was a pain to keep stopping to check it at every intersection.
