they have come up with what they say is better. (better for them) this new brine solution that they spray on the roads before it snows. this stuff doesnt dry t just keeps eating away at what ever it gets on or into liquid salt who wouldda thunk. and here they mix it with beet juice so it sticks better. imagine that

If you look in the picture, you see a straight line. Looks like it has had some patch work done, maybe metal welded in the filler (body puddy) to give a finish look.
Filler will soak in moisture unless it's treated from the inside out.

Why would you drive it in those conditions? Especially a rust free tool box bed! I park mine at the end of October and it does not come out untill it has rained HEAVY for at least 3 or 4 times to wash away that salt. Here is what mine looks like in the winter. Up on jackstands and turns into a storage container underneath.

I couldn't have said it better myself. I've put maybe 40 miles on mine since November... Been waiting for the weather to break a little bit, but it hasn't held off for more than a few days.. or snows and starts over.

I didnt want to drive it, but times were tough and it was the only truck I could afford to have running for a long time. My ranger needed a new motor, The '86 needed a tranny, The '78 has no oil pressure and my tilt bed gets 4mpg, so I really had no choice.
