Mike,
Your comment about rusting truck bodies shure brings back memories.
In 1977(I'm dating myself) we ha a contract to do a hospital addition in 
Huntington WV. I flew from Nevada to Huntington and purchased a new chevy 
pickup. The dealer asked if I wanted a protective undercoating for another 
couple hundred dollars and I said no. Little did I know being from the dry 
desert. 2 years later that pickup was on a job in Colorado.  We couldn't 
license it for the highway because it had no floor left in the cab. I 
remember getting up one morning and thought it had snowed outside, only to 
discover the white roads were all salt.

Needles to say, if you see the trucks spraying liquid down before a
storm, you DO NOT want to be following them with your vehicle. :-(
