Another reminder of what road treatment chemicals cause...

The guy I sold that Chevy to used it as a plow truck for his private driveway for many years.

Pushing snow, or farm use... where trucks go to die.

From my days with undercoating it would eventually start cracking and give the salt and moisture in resulting in rust.

That's where our old 04.5 is right now. Sitting behind my sister and brother-in-law's garage with the plow and spreader on it. He will use it until it finally dies. As it is now, it is too rusted to have inspected and not enough left of it to try and fix it up.

I've used either Krown or Fluid Film from day one, both an oil based coating. Once it dries up its just gone. I'm not aware of any "new age" undercoating that's rubberized anymore. At least nothing that is effective with current road treatments.

Your Cummins/6speed? The drivetrain alone is worth more than most dedicated plow trucks I know of around here.

Ours go to Africa for 100$.
Down there they sell it for 5000$.
What a business.

No, the 04.5 we had. It is a 48re.

I thought a life of plowing or farm truck use was bad......... Africa must be like hell for an old truck.

We really need to get you a lift Mike. It makes jobs like this so much easier.

Or at least a Magic Creeper, I will never go back to cardboard.

I ordered one for him, his life will be a little bit easier now.

I loaned to a guy in the park here working under his jeep and he order one also. Just don't step in it, or you may end up on your behind!!!!
