I would not use clear coat on it. It does not look right, especially on your beauty. A friend of mine takes trucks in worse shape than yours and wipes it down with boiled linseed oil. It greatly slows down the rusting process, but doesn't give it that too shiny look. You will need to keep it out of the rain. The boiled linseed oil does attract dust, but all you need to do is give it another wipe of the oil. His trucks all look like they were just pulled out of an old barn. That is the look that I like.
