My problem will be when the truck just becomes my daily driver, which means, insurance and inspection will change for the negative.

Morning! Happy Tuesday! Nothing special going on today. Just work! Been enjoying this weather lately.
I sold my tires and old set of wheels yesterday
. I thought in this economy, they'd stick around a little and since I didn't need to have to sell them, I kept the price high and they still went. I only listed them on Craigslist and Uncle Henry's a week or so ago. A Dodge 
came and grabbed my wheels and a kid with an off road jeep grabbed my tires, even my bad ones to play with. He said he's going to use inner-tubes in the bad ones.

salt!Speaking of salt, I've found some stuff that works real well against salt and other stuff they put in the roads that I undercoat all of our vehicles with each fall, including my old plow truck. It's Amsoil MPHD Heavy Duty Metal Protector, originally designed for motorcycle chains, but people have been using it for underbody coatings on vehicles. It goes on like a liquid (so that it can infiltrate the little cracks, hinges, nuts and bolts), then dries a wax like substance. I even use this stuff on my bicylces
!Take care.

I think a can is about $7 and it goes a long way. If you really go over board with your entire under-body and all the linkage (which is what I do), you'll still probably be ok with one can per vehicle.
Amsoil products are only sold through distributors and here's the guy where I get my stuff from in South Portland: Four Season Synthetic - Your Maine Authorized AMSOil Dealer
I also buy synthetic oil and filters through this company and that's the only stuff I'll ever use in my truck. I'm sold on it and have been using the stuff for over 11 years. I continue to read research on it and they continue to amaze me.
Here's a brochure, you can tell I love this stuff - people are shocked when they look at my plow truck frame:
