That’s a beautiful truck man! Wish so bad I could keep mine inside! 

 

How did you keep the underside so clean? 

 

 

Lots and lots of power washing the underside in the winter. It quit being my daily driver in 2007 so that helped also.

Good to also spray a puddle of oil down inside the bottom of the doors. Just spray up inside thru the vent holes in the door lip at the bottom. I do this every once in awhile since they tend to rust from the inside.

Yep.  I use chain lube. 

Ben, the chain lube comes in spray form then right?

I went through most of the truck and all the hard to reach places I sprayed with oil, inside rockers, doors, mounts, fenders, then let it sit on gravel for extra oil to run out. Seemed to help slow down rust. Need to do it again soon.

Yes. 

 

It's for dirt bike chains.

 

eta: 5 more rattle cans down.  Made it to end of fuel tank as of 6pm.

Last night my neighbor was underside with me checking things out and he pointed something out that I never even knew were there. 

 

There are plugs on the inside of the rockers!! Holy revelation for me batman!!

 

He said once we get all this fixed up, you pull those plugs and load it up with chain lube like the door. 

 

I'll post a picture in this post later. 

 

Awh cool.... I heard those can rust out too. Man I like the idea on the chain lube..... assuming the stuff sticks kinda like chain lube to a chain saw

I took all them plugs out too and used regular motor oil just like on everything else and one of these

Basically it foggs everything with oil and works better than oil in a can imo.

That's a pretty cool attachment. Like an oversize airbrush. I'm going to have to keep an eye out for one. 

 

Neighbor has a rust catalyst for body work that turns it into nickel I believe. 

 

Just spray it on. 

 

I am going to give that a try tonight or tomorrow on some areas. 

 

Down side is you need to respirator up along with the exhaust fan going. 

 

I have only needed the exhaust fan for the rattle canning. With it running and a door cracked the shop temp will dump 5 degrees yesterday.

Still painting. 

 

Eta-

 

reason for picture was girlfriend texted wondering what I was doing

 

picture is worth 1000 words. 

 

2nd edit.  8 more cans since 4.  I’m outta paint....again.  

 

At least end is in sight.  It’s pretty much all covered.  

 

Pick up more paint tomorrow. 

 

Those of you with stock in rustoleum...,. You’re welcome.

I'm done.

 

4 more cans. I just said F- it I'm done. I'm tired.  It's all covered I think.

 

I asked the neighbor to root around in it in the morning when he goes out to the shop. 

 

The whole second pair of eyes deal. 

 

Got the steering stabilizer today and rest of parts start rolling in tomorrow. 

 

 

Got the fleet moved up to their proper parking spots. 

 

Although jeep gets shoe horned around in the shop once I drop the top. 

 

Subaru daily driver, the toy, new truck. 

 

 

 

 

 

I took the truck to the gym this morning then the fleet store. 

 

Old fart got a lot of stares there. Lol

Went in the mountains today with a buddy to shoot clays. Took the pup with to introduce him to guns. He isn’t gun shy at all! He was so excited he wanted to chase the clays downrange.

It was nice day today for sure! We still need to meet up one of these weekends. 

@BBHD absolutely!  My buddy and I have plans to head back there next weekend to do the same thing..... Just with a lot more shells!

Shoot I won't be back up until the 25th.  I would definitely be up for shooting clays. My uncle and I just  tuned up his thrower a couple weeks ago. Let's see how the weather and work looks when I get back. 

I'm down for that anytime. Considering shells are about .21 cents each at the Walmart.
