Anyone 'winterize' their truck for storage?
Well with November here and the truck 'officially' off the road for the winter its time to get it prepped so that come spring I find it in the same condition that I left it.
I'm targeting getting the 'rust checking' (ie: rust proofing) done today which will take probably another 1-2 hours then after some fuel preservative and run up we should be good to go. The only thing after that is a couple of other minor things (battery, etc) and put the cover on it. I was wondering if anyone else does rust proofing on their trucks to make sure the tin worm forever keeps its distance. Personally, i use the 'rust check' spray product which I started using years ago when I lived back east around the Great lakes 'rust belt'...where everything rusts constantly that is on or near the road...LOL. As a once a year procedure, its always done a great job at stopping, and controlling rust on my vehicles. My '72 is a California truck so its very solid and I'm working to ensure it stays that way because rust is an intrusive little bugger it seems. That said, I do run into a lot of guys who simply wash their vehicles and put them away but don't take it too much further. Anyone else have their own 'preservation procedures'? Coley
