While doing some work on my frame I realized the right main frame rail on my Ranger has a thin soft tar like coating on it and the left rail does not. I have owned the Ranger since new and don't recall adding any coating to that rail. if I did, I would certainly have done it to both sides. Did Ford apply this kind of coating to the frame? If so, it is strange they did it to only one side.
I live is SoCal so there is only very light spotty surface rust on the left frame rail, but I am considering sanding it lightly and adding a rust converter before coating with a layer of undercoat. The right side has no rust at all and I would like both sides to be the same.
