I did that withy 07 Silverado. Got caught in a blizzard in OH coming back from PA. Red truck was white with salt when I got home. I bet I spent half a day with the pressure washer cleaning that off. It worked truck still looked real good underneath when I sold it this year.
It's a thing. Here's my 2012 that I had just taken bed off to install gooseneck puck system. This hadn't been washed and you can see how clean it is underneath but I had one cross member start to rust as well as this has been taken care of.
I wire brushed it and hit it with primer/paint and will keep an eye on them.
I got this truck in January. One owner traded back into dealer it was bought new from with 63k miles on it. Clean as a pin and completely stock. Dealer even put it's only set of replacement tires on about 9k miles ago.
Is the dash surround red on early 66 series? Mines black but it's also a 76 model BS.
Looks great and can't wait to see finished pics. Would love to go to HCOP to see it in person
I can head over with some good ole .490 round balls, pillow ticking, and powder and we can make boom boom noises like it's 1750
Kentucky Rifle for the win!
Completely agree. Road speed isn't as fast as a 10 or 14 but otherwise gears work out pretty well. Low 3rd or high 1 are field gears which kinda stinks because you gotta change ranges depending on what your doing. Grunt though you can't beat them.
