Will be nice to have it all exposed so you can get a thorough coat sprayed on.

Don't know what the Hell PA uses on their roads but it reminds me of MI. I remember 5 year old cars with rust through holes in the door bottoms.

I'm probably less than 15 mins from you in Hanover Twp/Bethlehem.

I suppose you live in the Northeast? A lot of money down the drain in rusted vehicles up there.

You know it's pretty bad if your own kid (State licensed) refuses to put an inspection sticker on it!

Jeez, what they put on the roads? Acid? If that’s a F250 after 10, what happens to a Japanese truck?

ICNLT…. Worse we see here is due to brine on the roads

Hmmm, this is a pretty well known Ford POS issue.....The local shop said this one isn't too bad....Maybe, the newer aluminum framed cars will last longer?

There's a guy in my office that has an Airbnb beside him (he lives on the lake) and every year a couple of guys come down from Canada and rent for the week and buy 5 or 6 truck beds and take them back up. Of course they couldn't during this border/Covid thing but he said they've done it for about 5 years.
