First truck...need advice

[ProfessorM]

Hey Don.
I was going to tell him to check the site too. I agree rust buckets so quick. Extremely hard to stem the rust and with winter and salt it seems a lost cause after a while. All good info above. Have fun

Don I think I have at least 25 years, probably more, as a MBBA member I am curious how many years you have been a member?

Hi Paul.. Go back to the early days of MBBA. Many good memories of fishing Nauset and Race Point in the 50's. With the erosion and tide height changes there is very little left of the beach as we knew it. I have gone from a "camper panel truck to a Jeep. Wifes idea of camping is now the Holiday Inn.

What's happening with the access to the Cape side of the ditch?

Yeah, likely that truck will have some undercarriage rust problems pretty quickly.

The real dinger for me (I used to drive a 96 Pathfinder on the beach), was the exhaust system. I ended up replacing stuff twice.

I gave the truck to my ex wife when we got divorced and she drove it for another 8 years with no problems with the exhaust. Go figure.

And tire deflators, they are the way to go.
