The title should be 'How not to store your truck'.
Tarps trap in condensation. I hope it is not too badly rusted to save it.
I'll leave this here to discuss winter storage methods. Any more discussions of the weather will get it moved to Greasy Spoon.
Cletis has a good point, I learned this myself up here over a couple winters. I was short of storage space and have a 52 1/2 ton I had gotten as a project, it is really rough but the floor looked mostly ok except for one small hole in the middle of the right floor. I covered it with a tarp since I had nowhere inside to put it. After a couple winters I discovered the floor had rusted way more, now the entire right side needs to be replaced. I ended up pulling the cab this last summer and putting it into the storage garage I built year before last. I also found that tarps won't last even one winter in this country, the wind destroys them in a hurry. My 2 cents.
