Been sittin far too long...
 

Hey my poor truck has been sitting for about 15 months now and before i drove it there it was sitting in my dad's carport for 12 months the frame is pretty ****ty looking and has some holes. It has been sitting through 2 winters, i can't fix it up cause i am **** broke at the moment........:waah:

anybody have some tips for me to try to keep what's left of it from rotting away?? and what to look at before trying to get it on the road?

I would suggest getting a rust inhibitor and coat anything with any amount of rust on it.

try and get it off of dirt and onto concrete or blacktop

Re: Been sittin far too long...
 

2 good suggestions so far , but if you can't get it on concrete or asphalt , park it on some heavy mil plastic.

thanks a lot i will try those i'll put the shower curtain under it. i heard diesel works good to prevent rust anybody heard of that? i don't wanna waste good diesel if it won't do anything

If you cut/thin roofing tar with diesel to like a thin paste so you can put it on with a paint brush it works great to keep rust away i think better than under coating

Unless you have a deep attachment (such as grandad's old truck), consider selling it whole or parting it. Watching it rust away does nothing for your budget and is overall depressing. Let someone have a chance for resurrecting the truck.

Paint it with ZeroRust. Black and looks good.
