Try some brake fluid. I have never had the pleasure, but heard it works well.

Just checked it............still on the fence with the '76

X2 on brake fluid, my brake MC was leaking on the floor and the old rubber lining just bubbles right up and peels off

I have had good results with dry ice.

Hmm dry ice.....................

Id use a heat gun and a razor blade scraper... It may take it down to the factory primer, but I found a razor blade made short work of the factory paint.

I agree that dry ice works great for removing factory sound deadening material. I would certainly give it a shot first. If it works your life will be easier than the other methods mentioned.

Yea. Never heard of it being helpful with bedliner.

This is like a cheapo rubberized undercoating like stuff-nasty!!! Will post up some pics soon.

BTW here is the '76. I believe the bumper is a '70 series bumper though....correct?

Dry ice works the same way on bedliner, makes it cold enough to be brittle. But, have to define bedliner, there are so many brands/types, may or may not work well on all? No matter what, removing bedliner is not fun! In my experience, chemistry makes a gooey mess, takes a longtime to work on thick bedliner, cold and/or heat takes a lot of scraping.

I know I will be in for a tough job..................will post up pics of the inside soon.

The undercoating I removed a while back was like tar. It was Asphalt based. The heat gun softened it quickly and a long handled "Lisle" scraper peeled it up easily. Then just buzz over it with a wire wheel or a finer grit flap wheel works slick too. Can't leave the flap wheel in one spot too long or it can remove to much metal. Good luck and sweet cruuser!
