I would not hesitate to drive mine more in the mess if it were a 4wd. I don't worry about rust on the shop truck. I drive it in the rain and years ago, when that was all I had, I drove my 68 everywhere, anytime. Yes it had rust as I remember, but that wasn't what finished the truck off. It was worn completely out after the guy I sold it to drove it another 150K miles. I saw it years after I sold it, and it wasn't much worse than it was the day he bought it. We had a local fellow that ran a snow plow in the town I work in, in front of a 3/4 ton 71 Chevy 4x4. The rockers and cab corners were always solid and he ran the skinny co-op tires on it year round. I have not seen it in action for about the last 10 years, but he used it for at least 25 years. Solid white, no side trim, chrome bumper and grill, white steelies and poverty caps. I would love to have it.
