The ice and salt build up beneath will start to melt and run into places you don't want it to. If it stays out in the cold or in an unheated garage this won't happen. By all means do wash underneath it whenever you can. I also have had a collector truck and could not really enjoy it for fear of damage or even silly things like being caught in a rain storm. It was no fun so regrettably I sold it. My 49 is a driver and although it is not abused I can sleep nights without worrying about it. Bill 1949 Chevy 1/2-Ton "Sedgewick" In the Gallery 1989 Caprice
