I've finished fabricating a few of the many structural wood parts for my '35 Chev. 1 1/2 ton truck. I'm wondering what preservating/finish I should use before final assembly of the painted steel body parts. The main door-post uprights and the front roof piece are new oak. Much of the rest is old-growth straight grain fir. Any advice is much appreciated.
