Its getting harder and harder to find acid dipping companies for FED regulations. We have paid anywhere from $60.00 to $100.00 per piece. Like a fender, door, stake body gate etc. $300.00 for a 12' flatbed. Cabs ran $400 to $500.00 depending on how many other parts you gave them. Very little problems with rust in the confined areas. As said need to clean as good as possible. They neutralize the acid but occasionally it reappears from some of the seams. We used to get stuff dipped at International Harvestor in Springfield, Ohio during shut down. One time we had a mbg dipped. Thats when we learned you can't dip steel with aluminum skins. The guy dipping it didn't pay attention.

I know Atlanta, Ga still has some dipping places
