Undertray
Hello all,
As winter is just around the corner I have been starting to think of how to prep my vehicle for the winter weather here. I just put on new tires and am working through maintaince items to be sure all is good. My question is was there ever an undertray for these trucks or do any companies make an aftermarket undertray / skidplate for the engine? During the winter in my area we get tons of road salt. If I could prevent this from getting into the engine bay at least partially it will do worlds of good for the trucks longevity. Thoughts and ideas are welcome. Or has anyone tried to fabricate their own undertray? I am open to fabricating ( I can weld and all that good stuff) but would prefer a professionally made product if one exists.

I was thinking of getting the whole underside treated by ziebart. I believe that would be similar to woolwax (never heard of this brand before) or any of those other oil based underbody treatments. Correct? I more was wanting an undertray to keep from actually getting to that and I have just seen way to many rusty vehicles in my area to ignore it (I live in the rust belt). Also my car that sits way lower to the ground but has an undertray has no issues with engine bay rust. Also it would be nice to have protection in case I run across rocks sticks etc so an undertray seemed like a 2 for one solution.
