We get em sand blasted. Got a guy that does cab backs for $250. Throw on some good epoxy primer an then some Delfleet single stage.
Best pic I got of what I can see under there. Just haven’t had time to get it apart yet. You can see it built up though. Outside of frame rail
I haven't yet, but I wanna get a guy to water blast mine. Sand works, but if a guy ain't careful you will loose every seal. Soda works well but you need to seriously neutralize it and clean well. Dont ask how I know. Por15, or chassis saver both work great. But I recommend putting paint over it. If it sees the slightest uv rays it gets discolored and turns whiteish. If you spray it wear a mask, and rubber gloves. Do not allow it to dry on anything you dont want it on. Like skin. That rail looks like it will come right back.
Bout a month ago. Still driving the W9 though, she’s a fixer-upper. Lol. How’s the International doin? I mean when you ain’t gallyvantin around New England with the fellas? Lol. I guess you got your motor troubles sorted out?
That frame is still mostly black, lol. Most of our trucks older than 2-3 years are mostly brown frames.
