Question Winterizing your f150

What are some of the procedures you do for winterizing your truck.
For instance, the undercarraige and the steel members.
How about any rust?

I just take a can of black tractor enamel and spray down the underside, usually just the frame, front end and the rear axle.

This old bastard I live next to uses used motor oil and paint brushes it on the trucks underside. It sounds stupid but his truck is a 1980 f-150, and he still has floor boards in Chicago.
