Re: Ideals on c10
I'd spray it down with ATF, let it set overnight, then wash the rust off with soap and water. Follow that up with a good buffing and about 4 coats of good wax.
I'd also hose out the cab corners, rocker panels and inner fenders. get ALL the dirt mud N crud out of there, and let it dry.
I would steam clean the under side, and engine compartment, paying extra attention to nooks and crannies (what the hell are crannies?)
After that, I'd do gear oil, brakes, u joints, grease the chassis, get it running, evaluate what is necessary to make it safe and dependable.
Also, I would start looking for a grill and bumper.
Looks like a fun project, good luck, have fun, keep us posted.
