frame rot

I like the principle there, but it doesn't seem possible when the nut is already against the frame inside the hanger.

I used it on the front. the rears were rusted enough I just sorta tore the metal off.
it's been a few years since I did this when I chopped up a '99 parts truck.

Well gave up with blasting as IOWA weather has other ideas. Used a needle scalier air powered from Menards there cheapest one. Buy ear muffs. Here is pic of the sides still have to cover bottom of frame. Didn't want to get covered with rust as have to go somewhere. Still have to do inside frame where fuel tank is. I'm getting a lot of wounds as old man skin isn't tough. And my spotless garage looks like poo. Going to take weeks to clean.

Looking great. What undercoating paint etc are you using on the chassis?

Well went with rustoleum rust reformer brush where I can then bomb where cant reach. Had to repair where canister vent mounts. Here is some pics. Shocks look brand new not. Have one new shock mounted. Only have 3 foot of bottom frame rail to clean and paint then mount last shock. Then all that is left is change filler vent hose its spliced right now. Then replace fuel pump assembly. Then back to box welding and slag rust on its under side. Bought shocks from auto zone 20.00 off till the 16 of this month. Then once together done even if it don't run.
REMBER I just don't know what I'm supposed to be doing. WINGING it

You definitely can get a few more years outta them rear shocks.
