They use them
Move to Texas.
I put a 6" Wilton on the back of my service truck 5yrs ago and it's still in great shape. Only thing I did initially was pull it apart and grease everything really good so that the internals wouldn't rust up. Other than getting washed when the truck gets a bath I don't do anything special.

Outdoor vices? I like drinking a beer outside or a chick who's game to fool around outside...
Outdoor vises? I was actually looking at one on a service truck stopped in front of me at a traffic light the other day. The jaws and anvil were certainly a lot more rusty up here in Pennsylvania than SLOWPOKE693 's version. The chromed handle and powder coated parts weren't too bad.

What he said...
Every so often (years) I'll wash it out with mineral spirits from a solvent gun and re apply penetrating oil. That's it.
This Wilton was put on this bed in 2013.

Cause I can order it on a job through our parts department...
Same reason I use grease on mine. I have lots of it on the truck.

Tangent, but does anyone know where to order those hinges? Latches look pretty badass as well

When you see the price you'll have an urge to put some boring old barn door hinges in the press brake.Tangent, but does anyone know where to order those hinges? Latches look pretty badass as well
Neither rust nor roads are a problem where you are.Use them, oil them every once in awhile. Ahhh and oh yes the most important thing, the roads are so rough around here the vibration keeps them from rusting stuck.

No pricing, but link to their parts page: Parts :: Maintainer
edit: Looks like $182/door, if anyone else was wondering

Grease the screw, use them a couple times a week.
Fordguy is also in California. Rust is minimal issue, I agree there but you clearly have a huge misrepresentation of what the roads are like here.Neither rust nor roads are a problem where you are.
