On my late Silverado, the only thing not rusted underneath was a small area where periodic oil change oil dripped.

Agreed. I'm sure we don't have to spray with that nasty black stuff down south.

Get two spray cans of LPS3 or similar and have at it. Dries waxy and gobs of dust don't stick.

It's a 1984. It was built in Burnaby, BC in August, 1984 but wasn't put into service until March, 1985 by Coastal Bulk Transport of Dartmouth, NS (a division of Provost Cartage of Montreal - now part of Trimac) to pull triaxle bulk tankers - 110,000 lbs. GCW. It was registered as a 1984 model, even though it had the 1985 style grille (probably because it didn't have brakes on the steer axle). Coastal ran it until October, 1992 and I bought in March, 1993. I ran it on highway until 1996, when I replaced it with a 1992 Kenworth with a 425 Series 60. I then added a 15.5 foot dump box and brakes on the front axle and used it on construction work until 2003, when I sold all 3 of my trucks and got out of that racket.
It was one tough old truck. It had a Cat 3406B (350HP "Economy" - max. 1900 RPM - seems fast nowadays but was considered slow then), RT14615 (which I converted to overdrive to get more road speed), 4.88 gears in Rockwell SSHD's and a14,600 lb. front axle, all on 22.5 rubber. With that high torque Cat and slow gears, gearfast trucks with 100 more HP could not touch it on the hills....on the flats, well that's another story.
