Cleaning,de-rusting the whole chassis?

[DIESEL KEVIN]

hey, i bought my f250 from a guy from up north and he used it in the snow alot, simpler said, the whole chassis is pretty much RUST!!!! everywere RUST!!!!!, a while ago i helped my friend de rust his 75 gto with a wire wheel, and we did the whole bottom, axles and everything, and then por15 it. Im thinking about doing it to mine to, to prevent further rust from wheeling, and from the snow, and water. it may take a long time, but it may be worth it in the end, is it a good idea? should i do it before or after i get the lift put on? has anyone done this before? thanks again guys!

man that sux, my truck came from KS, it has alot more rust on the frame then it should but
i keep it clean as possible during all seasons to prevent more rusting....also if you have dont it before on a friends truck than you already got it tackled.

cant steam cleaning it take most of it off? you might also look into having it media blasted then Por 15

i think a light sand/media blating would do a great job like raul said, it wouldnt take to long to do that and it would hurt the rubber, just bounces right off

yeah good thinking Raul,never heard of steam cleaning it, but i may just go with the electric angle grinder with a real tough wire wheel,one weekend when it gets warm. can i buy a media blaster?, like a protable one? or do i have to bring it somewere and pay big buxx?

i remember seeing a crafsman portable media blaster in one of the catalogs they sent me... might want to go to a sears and ask... saw it in one of the crafstman club monthly letters

I made a 200 pound one, means itll hold 200 pounds of media and i run it off our 185 cfm air compressor, prolly a little over kill but i use it to blast equipment and trialers to repaint and anything else i can pick up on the side. You can rent one for about 175 a day and then the media costs is about 4-6 dollars a bag for what i have used
