Re: Do you replace or reuse rusty hardware?
The problem with dipping them clean like that is that you're not restoring the corrosion resistant coating. You have to be sure and follow up with some other product to prevent quick re-rusting.

Re: Do you replace or reuse rusty hardware?
Are http://www.kaehr.com/ the guys that did that box of parts for under $50?
I do my own tumble-clean-buff-zincplate passes at home with an Eastwood plating kit, but if I could have done them in bulk, I would have!

Re: Do you replace or reuse rusty hardware?
Its my understanding that the plating shops located in states along the border have the work done in Mexico where environmental concerns are non-existent, and labor is cheap. Same goes for the paint shops.

Re: Do you replace or reuse rusty hardware?
The minimum charge at Kehr exceeds $50 but other operations may have lower minimums. Kehr is a decent sized outfit and does the work locally here in new not old Mexico. There's at least one other local outfit here as well.

What I have been doing may or may not be the best, I'm still new at this. I don't think any of my bolts have really rusted, it was the parts they were holding together that rusted. Anyway, I spray all bolts, nuts, washers with NAPA Rust Treatment (Permatex). I have no real experience with how it performs as a rust preventer, but I did leave some fasteners outside once after spraying and they were rained on over night. No rust the next day. |

Concerning stripped parts rusting out, I'd say that depends on environment. I began stripping parts and even the frame 10 months ago. There's no visual rust. My bed has been stripped for 5 years. It's never seen water. Unless you can convince me metal can rust from the inside out, at worst it needs a little sanding. Like the OP, I'm no expert. At best I wipe parts down with oil, then store em away. I'll hit them again before refinish of course. Probably a good idea to soak the parts in vinegar beforehand, but if I have the small parts plated, then I don't have to do anything.

Re: Do you replace or reuse rusty hardware?
If you don't mind me asking, what company do you use for the plating?

Re: Do you replace or reuse rusty hardware?
Shoot, for a dollar per pound I wonder if I could ship them stuff?? There's nowhere around here that would touch that price (or even plate small stuff..)

Re: Do you replace or reuse rusty hardware?
I called a local (well, 3 hours away) plating shop and they can do everything for about $130.00. Dang, we need some illegal labor!
![]() I am thinking about it. My biggest fear is I won't remember what bolt goes where. Maybe I can sort it all out into different types and keep pics, we'll see. The plating guy suggested a cadmium-gold plate. Thoughts? |

Re: Do you replace or reuse rusty hardware?
Grab a dry erase board and a digital camera and take pics like I'm doing: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=708547 (scroll down).
In the last month I've had two big batches of clear zinc done. The washer fluid nozzles look absolutely brand new. Cadmium what was cadmium lest that hardware look funky.

Re: Do you replace or reuse rusty hardware?
Take things off and put in labeled jars of vinegar. Leave it overnight or even a couple days. Any oxidation will wipe off.
Take the parts out and rinse them off, then figure out if they're reusable. If not, make a note and look for it the next time out hunting. The usable stuff can be refinished by sticking the bolts on cardboard, put nuts hanger wire (spaced out), and hang the other parts on hagers with thin wire. Two or three light coats of paint work a lot better than one thick coat. This method isn't as easy as ordering everything new, but the factory parts quality is much better than the shiney new repop stuff. |
