    Thats a good looking truck. I wish my SRW had a body half as good as that. I think they built these trucks from old Datsuns..they rot so fast theyre barely broken in and youre replacing rockers and rear wheel arches

    I park my fox on a tarp for this very reason.. every spring when I pull the car out and remove the tarp, it’s wet. Who knows if the tarp is doing anything but peace of mind I guess.

    Although I have not done it to this garage yet, my last garage I applied a concrete sealer and then painted it with concrete paint and never had a moisture issue. think materials were around $75

    Congrats on the truck. an f-350 Dually is a beast! A caution tho. We have a 2013 F-450 with the v-10. IT will do just about anything. Strong as an ox!
    But. Big, big, but! Gas mileage is HORRENDOUS!! 33 litres per hundred kilometres, average. We're filling that thing up every day. It was a great deal when we bought it, but I do believe I'll trade in the spring for a diesel.

    I must have gotten a ringer, so far it is as good or better on fuel than my 1/2 tonne 5.3l chev.

    Must be...those v10s are known to be god aweful on fuel. Theyre solid as hell but tend to drink heavily.

    My 6.0l would get 15-18 mpg if it decided to run.
