The salt was from a hard life in Saskatchewan; they salt to about -10C, but anything below that temperature makes salt useless.

It's only the undercarriage that has rust like that. The body is remarkably clean.

There is no salt air where I live. I'm too far inland for that. Cars and trucks last forever in my area. This region hardly ever gets much below freezing, so ice on the roads isn't an issue. If you go into the Interior BC region where it snows heavily, I think they salt quite a bit.
