1963 C-10 in NC

[1963c-10]

I used some degreaser, which helped with the real light stuff. But the over cleaner and about 30 minutes of soak time really cut through the crud. I sprayed a whole can on the top and will use a whole can on the bottom aslo. Make sure you read the back of the can to make sure it has the sodium hydroxide...not all of them do. I used a wire brush and a flat tip screwdriver for the hard to get areas...maybe an hours work total on the top end. The bottom is much cleaner, will probably take another 30 minutes to do that. And there was some thick crud on it. I'd try the over cleaner 1st and see how it cleans it up for you. With the upper control arms off, the crossmember was easy to move around by myself.

Heres a before and after pic....hard to see all the crud and grease, road tar...etc...but its there.
