olezippi,
We too do not have a 'Trailer Queen', but she does live in the garage and not under a cover, usually. I get her out and drive her one or two times each week. Low gearing in the rear end doesn't make from long drives in the country. Thanks for your input. Just want to keep our baby looking good. Feels good to get those 'thumbs up' from other folks.
I know what you mean about the thumbs up. When my wife and I had our 37 pickup we got more attention than our 49 does. Right now is the bad time of the year for all the pollen floating around and it's all over the truck when I open the garage. This time of the year the cleaning is more frequent.
