Re: Trucks just sitting/rusting away
I have ne that has been sitting for a year now. I have done a lot to it since it's been there, but it hasn't moved. I start it and let t run every now and then. Kept the battery up all winter. Just came in from washing it up for the fourth time since I parked it. That included scrub brush in all seems, weatherstrip, emblems, and such to keep the "organics" from eating away at things. Every time it rains I take a piece of wood and wipe away debris that clogs the drain holes in the front of the bed to let the water out. I also hosed out the bed a few times to keep it decent. I wish it was inside but that's not possible. I don't think anybody driving by would know what work I've done to it or that I am doing what I can to preserve it best I can under the circumstances. They also have no way of knowing why it has sat for a year or what circumstances have prevented me getting it going again. I hope they aren't too disappointed when they see me start driving it again.
