Thats what I need an old beater for the winter, that road salt is nasty on anything that moves on the road.

[Scotty_S-15]

There ya go, a good truck for the winter. Just stop at Home Depot and get a couple of bags of sand wrapped in plastic and throw them in the bed....... so you don't get stuck on wet leaves.... :(

AND, some Friday this coming spring, you can tell a few distant acquaintances that you plan to do a LOT of work on the ol' truck over the weekend............ and show up on Monday........ with the "good" truck!:eek:....:rolleyes:
