I'm Awesome
I went to the junkyard over the weekend to look for some parts. Found the truck I needed and started pulling things and when I went underneath I was shocked to see how badly corroded it was! I have seen guys on YT videos from up North, but I had never seen it in person. Dang! That truck was not from here I knew off the bat! I later talked to one of the guys there and he did confirm it was Chicago truck.
Obviously not a problem here. We may get snow/ice once a year. Every 3-4 years we'll get a storm where the road sand or whatever the DOT throws on the roads lingers for a few weeks after that. Frames and suspensions don't rust through around here. Even my old beater that was a farm truck and spent it's life in the country has just surface rust. No scaling or pitting.
Geographically, where does rust become a problem? Like what states? Or parts of states? I'm also aware of the coastal corrosion. Don't know how bad that gets though...
I looked it up and found "Salt Belt," LOL.
