thanks guys. i looked into the krown thing and the one here in ohio is actually pretty close to me. a farm supply store here has fluid film too. i'll probably go to the krown dealer and get a price quote to see if its something that i'd wanna do yearly.

 

Late reply, but I have not been on in a while...

There is a Krown dealer in Erie, PA. (also a local Line-X Dealer) That is who did mine. Jim does good work and I would recommend him to anyone.

 

I didn't spend $30000 on a truck to drive a beater car around all winter. I live in NB, Canada and we see our fair share of snow and the roads are heavily salted, I also back a boat into salt water about 30 times a summer. The only rusting issues I can see on my truck are the aftermarket parts (rear block ubolts, tow hitch mounting hardware). I've recently started undercoating with Fluid Film which is a great product, no drips, it's non toxic and you can find it on Amazon. My truck is 4 years old now with 100,000 kms on it and I can't see rust being an issue at all. On a side note I have a drop in liner that I removed this summer out of curiosity, the bed had some minor scratches in it but absolutely no rust at all.
