don't worry there's plenty of wax on the paint and polish+wax on the chrome. i really wish i had a 300 dollar beat up car to take out, but it would defeat the purpose of having a truck when it still is going to sit out in the weather no matter what. i like these older cars too much than to just have one, so i bought the truck to daily drive. i know some of you think i should be shot, but you only get one shot to enjoy the classics, and why not start young. it was a one owner since '67 just 93k miles ALL original truck with not a spec of rot, it does kill me believe me., I'm nuts you can say it haha. |

Re: some snow pictures of my '66
plus who knows how much longer we'll be able to drive these older vehicles! My truck is all original, and its going to stay primarily original, except some nice cosmetic add on's that improve on its already good looks, nothing gets sold or thrown out. sheet metal replacement is really the only thing i will dread having to do it it. i hope it takes a LONG time before i have to worry about it.

Re: some snow pictures of my '66
My advise to those that drive their trucks in the snow and ice, is to do your best to keep them washed. Not just on the outside, but underneath as well. The de-icer, be it salt, mag chloride or whatever, is the most damaging to these older trucks.

Re: some snow pictures of my '66
I recommend a Costco Carport for a little over $200.

Re: some snow pictures of my '66
having a few of these trucks over the years up here in the northeast that have been left out in the elements i know a few things to aid the watershed in a few areas,first is the drip rails.all of mine although aged seemed to be lacking enough seam seal in them from the factoryand what is there is hard and cracked.dig it out and seam seal again covering completly the spotwelded metal seam and banking it high on the outer edges.,clean out drains.
second is the hood front edge holds water.afew holes to drain in the right places .a q tip with a good oil base paint to cover the open metal in your holes. third ,the area where the cowl ,fender and inner fender meet by the hood spring.water settles there to ,best to look at it while wet and youll see where weep holes are helpful .lastly the antenna hole up behind the glovebox.hope this helps. and yes i am biased |

Wouldn't wax be just as efficient? as long as its just pooling water it'll just rest above the actual sheet metal. I'll have to check under the dash under the glovebox and see where your talking about if you've got pictures illustrating where you're talking about that would be sweet! |

Re: some snow pictures of my '66
any idea's as to what kind of soap?
i may have a shop undercoat the truck locally it costs quite a bit last time i remember $800 bucks but it'll save the underneath of the truck in the long run |

[1965 gmc, k1500, 4x4 , 305v6, 14,500 miles].
