when you clean up your cab clean the rubber up or replace the seals for the roof markers. That driver-side one is critical because its where the power comes up and its where mine had some water damage.

That’s good to note - definitely want to keep the market lights in order.

FYI, Ospho will convert the rust to iron phosphate, which neutralizes it, but it will turn black.

If you want to keep the patina, just wash and dry it, and coat it with boiled linseed oil. You will have to reapply once a year or so.

Sounds good in boiled linseed oil patina finish - came across a “Gibbs oil” that’s supposedly good option (pricier) too. Will see!
