    Ok, I have the exterior of the frame cleaned up but now I have been trying to figure out how to clean out the inside? I have blown it out and was thinking about pressure washing it and then poring some rust prevent-er in it.

    Any input would be appreciated

    Thanks! :cool:

    I am almost at that point with my truck
    Planning to blow out the crap and pour some rust paint down the frame rails also

    How did it go blowing the crap out?
    Did it clean out pretty good??

    I had another idea. You know how the front of the frame is always in perfect condition and the rest rusts a lot? Well I was thinking of using some grease inside the frame. The front of the frame is always covered in that thick layer of grease and dirt preserving it well.

    frame prep

    i have used a good high powered pressure washer and then let frame dry for a fw days at least then tape up all the holes with gorilla tape .. make sure there is no loose paint .. then you need to be able to tip the frame up and tilt side to side .. this can be done with a few friends if this is a bare frame.
    good luck

    Just with the compressor tip it made alot of crap come out, but I also only have the frame cut from the front cab mounts. :D

    I can tip it around easily and pressure wash it and then maybe ill do that Rust Over Paint stuff then grease it as well to seal everything again? Idk Ill go grab the pressure washer and see what comes out and ill let you guys know.:cool:
