A different look at the salt (winter content)

So i've seen the winter threads on here about avoiding salt and snow and everything, and as it's currently -7 here in the cold north i can see why you southerners wouldn't be envious; BUT, there is a certain pride to starting your carbureted v8 in this kind of weather and listening to it purr in the morning, knowing the technology on it has been practically un-changed since it's first inception in the 50's... Although i hate seeing my "OT" 68' c10 full of salt, the prospect of using it as a vehicle, as it was intended to be used, gives me a certain 'good' feeling. it's still keepin up with all them new-fangled rides on the road today! (not to mention it's a gas to get sideways in)

does anyone else drive something "old" in the winter and really kinda dig it, despite your best efforts to be mad at the snow/salt/cold?

 

This is my daily driver and I really enjoy driving it in the snow. I wash it off once a week and will repair any rust that develops in the spring.

 

that's too cool man, that thing literally looks like a tank!

 

Are you still running a flathead?

 

No, at the time I couldn't find a good running flathead so I put in a ford 200 I-6.

 

Nice! that thing must be an absolute ball in like 3 feet of snow.

 

its a lot colder up nord here ya do

when my Dakota is in shop i drive this sometimes, also have to drive 10 miles to work[playing w cars!] on rough gravel
dont always relish salt on anything but whats a person to do and the viechels will outlive me anyhou
