Heavy Duty Brakes?
I am prepping a "new to me" TV and looking for some pre-season advice. My tow vehicles have always been trucks I bought new, so was very aware of prior maintenance etc. My new TV is a 3500 Silverado...

Freaking salt.....and that liquid chemical they spray prior to a snow event I believe to even be worse than salt.
AMEN! We lived in Louisville for 4 years and I swear I got more rust down there than the prior 10 years the truck lived in NY!
Good point about trucks from the south. OP lists his location as "Ozarks", but the truck is new to him so no telling where it originated. You are 100% right the lines may be a non-issue, but at a minimum he needs to check and confirm that.
FWIW, I just had the LF caliper lock up so replaced all front brake hardware. I found AC Delco OEM parts online, and now they have zinc coated calipers and rotors that are corrosion resistant.

AC Delco Zinc-coated rotors
