More of a bed case the clips in the bed . What kills rust dead ? How do i know its dead ? I bought a new pressure sand blaster what is as good as sand with out the vapor risk ? Can it be reused ? What does a cab weigh in at ? What questions did i forget to ask ?

Nothing kills rust. You can either encapsulate or remove it. POR-19 is a good product to use but you can't prime and paint over it. It is a good product for the cab floor. Navel jelly is good a removing rust and can be purchased at the hardware store. Try baking soda for media blasting. No matter what you media blast there is going to be a dust hazard. Just wear at least a mask or if you have one a half face resporator. It can be reused but it has to be sifted. Take a piece of screen and rubber band it to a bucket and pour the old media onto the screen. Do not reuse any media that is wet. It will plug up the gun.

Rust Mort is meant to remove light surface rust before painting. ( if I remember correctly.. (?)

I've been hearing good things about this:

Blast then epoxy prime

Blast with your preference of media (fly ash from a power plant is my preference for heavy metal, for sheet metal I hire a company that uses baking soda). Then seal promptly with epoxy primer.

Actually there are products now that, while not really removing the rust, get rid of it by converting it, chemically, in to a stable substance. Many of them can be painted over. The Navy even approved one for use in submarine bilges a few years before I retired from service. I used one on my bed frame. I forget the brand name off of the top of my head, but I can get it pretty easily. It can be purchased at auto parts stores.

Hey Dado, the hole you are referring to is where a road draft tube goes. A very primitive type of crankcase ventilation.



This is a late model 235 that I dropped in my '50 that shows the road draft tube.
