And you re right on with the 'summer driver' routine. Drive the heck outa it for 9 months and when the salt hits the pavement, Hose it down, oil it up and park it til its ALL gone! I lived in New England in the late 60s and early 70s. Shame to see what happens to nice vehicles when the salt works it's evil. Nice truck, and Welcome to FTE!

Where have you been? Was looking for someone nearby for 10 years with an old Ford truck but no luck. You're about 40 miles from me. I finally sold mine a few weeks ago. Good luck with it!
