mine came from ohio and absolutely no rust. these KY trucks arent rusty.

 

Have used Cosmoline in the past to stop rust on other vehicles from getting worse on the frame and on the backside of sheet metal but it's hard to find nowadays. Have just sent away for some fizzy cans of "waterproof" grease to pickle my 350. We'll see how that works.

Truck was used for plowing/sanding before I got it and the rust is fairly advanced but fortunately there's still plenty of meat left and the cab's rust-free. Oil pan is pretty flaky but no leaks yet. Salt on the roads was bad enough but now that the state (CT) has switched over to calcium chloride, rust may get a whole lot worse a whole lot faster.

 

out of the states iv lived in cali has absolutly compleetly rust free vehicals iv seen some with rust on the rain gutters and roofs of some that spent the majority of there time right by the ocean. in mi rust is horable there are 5 year old cars compleetly holed threw and trucks that you can watch the road threw the floor board going down the road. ky isnt bad on rust and neather is nd although nd is a little harder on the rust than ky. lot more snow but not much salt is used

 

we rarely have any real snow. but tonight they are giving up to 4 inches to accumulate on top of ice. that'll be fun lol
