As far as cleaning the frame, I got really lucky. Being the truck was from Texas, most of the gunk came of when I power washed it. I sent a couple of hours with a wire wheel and cup brush on a small angle grinder. The P.O. had done a lot of the hard work when they swapped a V8 into the truck sometime before I got it. They had done a lot of cleaning on the frame up front and on the front suspension. Back during the week, I shot a little primer on the spots that I had already cleaned on the frame
