so i had my truck on jackstands today, took the wheels off because i was thinking of trading a guy tonight for stockers and skinnier tires, after he got to my shop i did not want the wheels he had, they were not what he said and the tires were useless. so he left, and i was bored and got on my creeper and started poking around under the truck from front to back, everything was good until i got to the rear and saw this shyt, WOW holy accident waiting to happen batman:

this is from the previous owner putting his boat in the gulf of mexico so often, my god!! the best part was i only noticed a problem because one u-bolt on each side was already snapped. so since i was in there to replace the u=bolts i tossed a 1 inch block in too so i could level the truck out, 1 inch doesnt sound like much till you see it sitting on the ground, i'll get some pics this weekend. thank god i looked!!

Why in gods name would you want to live in a place that gets that cold?

It's a good thing you looked jamie, you might want to inspect the rest of the truck.

i did, thats the only rust on the whole chassis. the way the bottom plates sit under the axle, it was a perfect pocket to hold the salt water even as he drove down the road it would sit there are do its thing. nothing else under the truck shows signs of salt water, weird.

never been that cold.
although i have broken -53C out where i live. lot's of frozen propane calls that night.
when lowering or trading rear ends i've come across a few that bad. lucky they didn't let loose on an errant pothole. but i don't think your climate creates many potholes.
