Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
Yeah sandblasting sure does clean it up nice but I'm not sure that this one needs it. Its pretty clean other than a few spots that are hard to get to. I think I'll try to take it apart and clean it up, paint it and put it back together. The frame is not very dirty or rusty. Just a little surface rust here and there. I came home today and took off some un-needed stuff. the crossbar at the rear for the spare tire mount. (gonna put the tank from the burb frame in there). The clutch pivot bracket, and the exhaust hangers that someone welded to the frame. I also took the brake lines and fuel lines off all in one piece. I left the hangers on them so I wouldn't lose them lol. I am possibly going to use the lines off of the burb frame since the it had 79K mi. I also will likely use the fuel lines after I look at them.
I cleaned it a little more with the gasket remover and pressure washer. I'm gonna try to wire wheel and sand it soon. I cleaned the tops of the cab mounts and sprayed some primer on them.
