Gary Lewis Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Welcome! Glad you joined. If you are going to be asking questions about your truck you should create a signature with information so we don't have to go looking. You'll get a lot more help as many people won't go looking for details in order to answer the question of what you have. And, where's home? I ask because we have a map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu) and we can add you if you'd like. Just tell us what city in Maine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drove up in Jan 2015 for a week and my forest green excursion got back to TN. well salted. I spent the next day with a pressure washer getting into everything and everywhere I could. it is a great example of how the salt / brine spray gets into everything and not just the rockers.

One thing I've used that really helps make it easier is a watering wand from the garden center. For under $20 you can save your knees and not have to get down in a puddle. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Gilmour-Thumb-Control-Watering-Wand-Nozzle-with-Swivel-Connect/604271424?athcpid=604271424&athpgid=AthenaItempage&athcgid=null&athznid=si&athieid=v0_eeOS41Nyw0MTEuNTUsMC4wMTU4MzgxNjY3NDQ5MDQzOCwwLjVf&athstid=CS055&athguid=OnTIuvMI5C9-Sy5oo1R571MoaXY-NngRPA1h&athancid=924591420&athposb=0&athena=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a LOT of information here, and it's pretty easy to find. Stay after the salt in just about any manner and you'll be fine. I bought a pump up garden sprayer at a yard sale for a buck. It had a brass tube from the handle with no tip. Brazed it shut and drilled it out. Sprayed used motor oil and white kerosene 1:1 under my daily 03 S/D in the spring and fall. Truck is still rust free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
