I'm not a body man, so rust repair is an issue for me... plus, Penn DOT has taken a new approach to road treatments: Liquid Brine pre-treatment...word has from the garages that service over-the-road rigs that this stuff is far worse than rock-salt, in that it gets past seals on tie-rod ends, shock-absorbers, and other suspension components and finds EVERY little crevice in the coachwork... I'm pretty-much anti-trailer queen when it comes to antiques, especially trucks; but I can't see destroying an antique by driving them in the salty slop if you have another option for a vehicle... That's why I hang on to my '93 Excort GT: winter-time beater. Other than that, keep it washed, lubed, keep good tires on it, good wiper blades, and be extra aware for the "invincibles" carreening around the slick roads in their "Dummers".... I drove my '54 in the winter when I had to...it was faithful, if a bit cold... Good luck !
