    1. Same for Minnesota. Five or six years and without a major undercoat, cars rust all the way through to the inside of the floorboards.

    1. They do: https://roxoroffroad.com/

      With a little effort, they are very often turned into something that's street legal. I am seriously tempted to get one for the farm, but I want an in-person testimonial first, from someone that has owned one for a while.

  4. A lot of those old Power Wagons were electric utility trucks. They needed those huge winches in front for pulling electric wires through stringing blocks at the top of power poles. The more cable on your winch, the more spans of conductor you can pull at one time.
