Give me your best ideas for winterizing an Apache

[VTX-Black]

This thread is meant to be fun. I am looking for creative ideas. No discouragement or naysayers allowed

Yes, I know that running one of these classics in the salt and snow is blasphemy, but I'll bet the collective group here can come up with ways to make these trucks survive better than some of the late model trucks are doing.

Here is the case I would like to make:

NEW TRUCK:
$40k purchase
$20k Value after 3 years depreciation
Parts = expensive
Frame shot after 6 years.

Classic truck made out of battleship steel:
$3k ->$10k purchase
Dispose after 3 years ($10k = half of a new truck depreciation).

Now, rather than dispute my numbers, how would you design the best 55-59 truck that you could to last forever?

I'll start:
-Paint underside
-shield the back of the headlights from slush.

Your turn = GO
