getting the truck ready for winter?
 

I got a frame off restored 70 GMC on a boat right now headed here to Norway to be my daily driver on a 3 mile trip to work everyday. The roads are incredible salty and slushy for all of winter. The underside is painted, and I am sure there are plenty of under coating places I can get it treated at here, but does anyone have anything else to suggest?

Nothing really to suggest other than just keep it washed weekly underneath.....THAT IS A BEAUTIFUL Truck man.......

por-15 the bottom

I don't know that POR-15 is going to do anything at this point. It is made to be painted directly onto existing rust, not as a preventitive. As stated by the OP, the truck is already painted underneath.

It is a rather expensive propostion, but the ideal thing would be to have a warm garage to rinse the undercarriage (and body for the matter) everyday. Keeping it clean and salt-free is the best thing you can do, but it really needs to be in a warm place so the it can be dry before you take it back out again. If not, you are risking frozen doors, locks, windows, etc.

thanks guys, checked out POR-15 and yea it looks like it is for already rusted areas, and I don't have that. I finally got it in the garage and it's drying out, so I guess I will just keep washing it, and keep my eye on the underside.

You could spray it down with used oil like the guys up north do. Yeah it is messy, but better than rust.
