Thats worth a whole lot of money! I had a 47 Chief when I was young...sold it for 800$....probablyworth 38000$ if restored. BTW off topic, but a guy up here rides a Ural side hack with 2wd here during the winter...he has studded dirt bike tires on it.

@ Rusty...How do you feel about just driving the piss out of it 3-4 times a week like I do. I NEED it in the winter. It has a block heater, Haldex 24vdc air dryer (your recommendation), #1 fuel mix, re routed cab heater intake, tire chains, LED lights including trans operated back up light...

I set them on a 4'x6' x 1'' thick rubber horse stall mat. the floor anchors work fine (for legalities) as it real doesn't go anywhere. Those totes will work good too as soon as the water freezes inside. I suppose if you didn't want to use the mats, you could frame it in the bed with a half dozen...

I guess you have to experience Northern Idaho to see what actually works. 8 years ago when I first moved up here, my doors froze. Then someone told me to use spray silicon on the door gaskets, now they always open. There is a line every winter at the Bonners Ferry car wash that sprays the...

its sideways (why?) so the rain rolls off while I weld.

1 inch plywood is common here, but not in the big box stores, and it only weighs 60-80lbs. The trick is to brush on the used motor oil and get the edges a couple of coats, so the rain and snow cant penetrate it and make it real heavy.

@ fpchief....Im originally from Stockton Ca. 100F+ temps often during the summer. It only takes a couple of winters to acclimate. Plus, with all those new fangled expensive gortex+ clothing out there, remember, its all junk. Wool is still King of the cold. Also cold winters acts like our own...

No...not any different than driving through snow slush. the spray is warm too. Ive been using it for years and is real popular up here because of salt.

@ Cattleman..agree about salt. fortunately the car/truck wash has a underbody sprayer just for that exact reason.

Thats what I was thinking, but it would be outside and made of 6 in steel pipe casing, because I don't have a "inside". In fact, I don't have a slab either, so when it rains, I use a 1 inch thick sheet of plywood treated with used diesel engine oil (really) and when it snows, I use cardboard...

@ Ahab.....the concrete plant that sells them does it. getting them out is going to be a issue. My neighbor ( 1/2 mile away) can do it with his tractor. My tractor cant lift them.

I took the cargo cover and bows off mine, then I have two 2k pound retaining wall blocks put in the back for traction (55$ each). In your case, you could buy a sheet of plywood and screw some 2x4 stiffeners under it, then a couple of 2x4 uprights down to the steps tp protect the cab soft top. I...
