There is no such thing as too many roofs. We haven't seen temps in the 30s yet this year.

Winter slumber
It looks kind of neglected out there. I need to hook up the defrost hoses and the heater hose lines so I can drive it when it gets cold, keep saying I am going to do that but other projects have gotten in the way this year.
What are your trucks doing??

Winter here is the rainy season. The woodie project is in it's shrine, the red shop. All the others that amount to anything are in open sided sheds to keep them dry. I have some hulks outside and they look pretty ugly with dead weeds around them and puddles underneath.

I hate those salt trucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One of the worst vehicles to collect and enjoy are vintage 4wd rigs. If they happen to be rare and valuable they are even less likely to be the one you take to town in a snowstorm. "Honey, do you want to take the escort to work today? The pickup has been acting up lately"......

My folks moved us from my native Seattle to the Boston area in the mid 60s. At 14 I was already a confirmed old truck nut. Through my teens I owned three rusted out 'old' ford trucks. One notable, my first was a 1965 f100 that was 6 years old when I bought it for 375.00. The bottom third of the sheet metal was missing. I was working in a boatyard so I fixed it with fiberglass cloth and resin, formica scraps and aluminum flashing. That 240 cu in six sure ran well, but the body looked like crap. I moved back to Washington with my new bride at 21 and never looked back. On the way across I bought a '54 gmc 3/4 ton in the California desert. We have some bays around the island where at high tide and the wrong wind conditions, the roadway is awash with seawater. I know all the detours around these. Some require 4wd. OK, end of MY rust rant.
