Preparation for Disassembly

What's the best way to remove the 32 years of crud from the under carriage, drive train and engine of my truck. I'm getting ready to disassemble her for a rebuild and I would like to remove as much of the dirt and grease as possible.

I use a high pressure washer. If you don't have one you can rent them. Quick and easy.

Go rent a steam pressure washer. They will remove any grime that you have. 180 degree water will do the trick...

If you can goto the carwash, Then you don't have to clean the mess you make on the ground when you are done. They have degreaser and good pressure to get you started on the cleanup.
