My truck has sat, neglected for the last several years, and during that time it was attacked by mud daubers. I'm finally in the process of cleaning it up and doing an EFI conversion, but I'm tired of fighting the mud.
Nests are in every opening and hole they could find in the truck, and it makes it very difficult to work on. They even clogged up the frame rails inside with mud. I figured with the gas tank and spare out, and the exhaust system off, now is the perfect time to do some cleaning and preservation.
I recently had to use a hydro-jetter on my septic system, so I figured this was the perfect tool for cleaning the frame rails out and boy was I right!
I'm going to coat the inside of the frame rails with Eastwood's Internal Frame Coating product once I get it cleaned up.
My plan is to scrub the underbody down well, and then also paint on an underbody coating product. Anyone have particularly good luck with any of the brands out there?
On to the pics:
I was able to thread the jetter all the way through the frame rails from end to end, as well as through parts of the lateral pipe sections.
It is a messy process, but I'm hoping it will be worth the effort. There is almost no rust to be found on this cruiser, and I'd like to keep it that way.
I wasn't able to do much today in the rain, but it made for good lighting for a picture.
