Question 14BFF Bath

Would it hurt if I totally stripped down my 14BFF and had it acid dipped?

To clean all the grime on the inside and paint-layers on the outside.

When I bought my '72 Blazer 18 months ago the 14B came with it and the previous owner said the rig's been sitting for a couple of years. So I don't know what the condition it's in so I figured I'd start from scratch and totally rebuild it.

Any and all opinions, advise, etc. is welcome.

Thanks !!

I don't see why you need to acid wash it. You should stick it in a hot tank. But if you acid wash it... it won't hurt it.

That's actually what I meant!

I thought a hot tank was acid.


Would a radiator shop have one big enough and do it for me?

I'm not sure, but a specialized engine shop might. Start making some phone calls.
