Finally got her down naked
My frame that is
Now that I have my frame completely dismantled, I have some decisions to make. I do still need to remove the cross member from the 7?? frame in the background. First, do I sand blast and use traditional primer or one of the paint over rust products. I have previously posted my bad experience with Eastwood’s product, so it is out. Second is the topcoat to use. Next, I need to decide if the truck will be mildly lowered or stay stock. I live on dirt and some rock road. The truck will be a daily driver and see some light towing. Then rear end ratio, posi unit, gas tank and location, and motor: gas or diesel. I have a 6.2 diesel that needs a rebuild but will have to start from zero on gas. I will be posting progress however slow it will be as “My Farm Truck Progress”. All suggestions and ideas will be appreciated. ![]() |

Re: Finally got her down naked
I had mine sandblasted then I applied self etching primer, filler primer and a catalyzed synthetic enamel. (Martin Senour #6098) They call this chassis black but it is basically a semi gloss high quality paint. I am very happy with the end result. I'm am not a fan of any product you apply over rust.

Re: Finally got her down naked
The only benifit of changing crossmembers to the later style is that it is easier to remove the oil pan.
Otherwise everything will swap over |
