removal
Along the same lines I have old undercoating the plus being it not
all
rusted out minus being how do you get that crap off (it cracked and
falling
off in places) it's like 1/8 thick tar. I think a heat gun would
just make
a bigger mess but what do I know. I'm open to suggestions though.
just took off the front clip last night that was the easy part I'm
finding
out now the real work begins. not even shure why I took it off other than
it
just looked like it would make removing the original 265 easier and
make
cleaning up the engine compartment a whole lot easier as well.
know I'm headed down that old familiar trail ie why not paint the
grill,
why not refurb the fenders, why not rebuild the front end, and I just
wanted
to remove the engine and paint the engine compartment.
That Poem pretty much sums this truck up. I have about $150 in it so
far
but I see a multiple of about 100 to finish it ., oh well got to
love em I
guess. owning your own used truck parts business helps keep the cost
down
some as well

Hey Jay,
I ha dthe thick stuff on my '59 as well, once I got underneath it,
it peeled off pretty easily with a putty knife. I'd have left it on
myself, but there were few spots where i could see that the water/moisture had
gotten into and started rusting.
Only thing is once i removed it from the floorboard area, it felt
like a summer heatwave in the cab.

Maybe Kerosene?
What about using a heat guns to loosen up the stuff so you could
easily
scrape it off and then wipe the area with the kerosene.

Trying to clean the underside of the AD's floor. Fair
amount of really
tough road tar. Blaster doesn't remove this stuff very
well. Short of
chiseling it off, is there some kind of chemical that will
loosen/remove
this stuff?
