Ultimate Rust Proofing Ideas...
Like the title states what would be your ideas as far as ultimate protection goes for a plowing truck. I am starting this project once it gets warmer out but am compiling info as I go now. My ideas and build are as follows....
Galvanize frame with paint finish Some other rust proofing on rest of suspension (no powdercoat more than likely) 6" suspension lift and current 3" body lift with shackles and springs out back with bags Underbody rhino lined or something else (chime in plz) Bumpers (inside) lined with something as well Rockers (inside) rust proofed at Ziebart or something (ideas?) Bc/Cc paint Truck is in good shape now with very very little surface rust. Rockers are the worst with only paint bubbling. I plow snow obviously and bought this truck 4 or so years ago. Its made me some cash and now its time to return the favor. I had a 79 back in the day and always said if I got another square I wont be the guy to let it go to hell. Well Im going down that path so its getting the ultimate treatment. I want it around for my son who is only 2.5 now so you get the point. Im a perfectionist so it will and has to be dead mint. It may take a year but oh well. I will be doing everything myself where its possible. So what are some ideas you guys have about under body and helping paint clear? Does adding more coats of clear help? Obviously I will be washing it off after every storm but when its -20* thats a lost cause sometimes. Ill admit Ive been lazy with cleaning this past year and half so got noone to blame except me. Next time around I wont be though.
