    Good Ospho (phosphoric) and epoxy Test

    I think the point was to test the adhesion. Phosphoric acid works but we are told you can’t epoxy over it. I spoke to TAMCO yesterday and she said just sand the acid. My parts have been sitting for about a week and they’ll sit like this until I get the primer in to protect them. I’ll then...

    Good Ospho (phosphoric) and epoxy Test

    @legopnuematic I was hoping you would respond. I have only done the tank brackets in Acid and there isn’t a lot of crevices so should be able to neutralize them before Monocoat. I’m going to use the 5311 for my frame. Did you do the chassis black over that?

    Good Ospho (phosphoric) and epoxy Test

    I'm looking at getting some Tamco Moncoat for axles and small parts but their Q&A says "Do not use any form of rust converters..." but if you neutralize like in video don't see why it wouldn't work. https://tamcopaint.com/products/monocoat-1-k-direct-to-rust?variant=31399920566352#qamp-a_i1

    Good Ospho (phosphoric) and epoxy Test

    Don’t know if anyone has seen this. Pretty good test and results, especially for those of us without the ability to blast every small part.

    Floor and rocker options

    You have to wonder if GM had originally designed the floor to curve up next to the kick panel would they have had such a rot prone area to begin with?

    Floor and rocker options

    Huck I see your point about the front floor half especially since the side bends down like the original floor. However the rot always seems to creep further back toward seat and toward hump and those don’t have enough metal.

    POR 15 equivalents?

    I redid my tanks. With both I sanded down and hit with Rust Kutter (works great) then one I primed with SW Fastline which was not good so reprimed with SEM metal etch and topped with Seymour Stainless other did all same prep but tried Rustoleum Clean Metal primer and it took almost 4 coats to...

    This is as much as I cut before starting this thread.

    Cab repair stabilizing

    Interesting how in a lot of the YouTube videos they don’t brace and cut out both sides.

    Cab repair stabilizing

    Cab is currently on a rotisserie (which is awesome). I will begin the cutting and replacement of floor, rockers and kick panels (one side at a time). Looking for advice on stabilizing cab to keep square. Was thinking of using boat stands with the cab still on rotisserie to keep level or putting...

    Med -Duty Cluster

    So I came a across a cluster with the combined 5k RPM tach and gas gauge on right and with Oil, Temp(100-250) , Vac and Amp. So correct me if I'm wrong but this would be from a Med-duty truck and be pre76 because its an amp not volt? Big question is would this be in easy swap out for my 76?

    Painting the gas tanks

    Was going to go Doppleganger’s route and bed line the bottom but top came out looking so good with Seymour stainless might just stick with that. Finish is a little grainy in some areas but don’t know if I’ll sand and reapply.

    DIY Dash Restoration

    Total time is tough as it was a little here and there after work, weekends. The sanding I did all by hand so could have been a lot quicker with sander. I let each coat of paint dry for 48hrs so there’s a week. Cost was I think $20 total as already had Bondo lying around and my brother had extra...

    DIY Dash Restoration

    Rustoleum Hammered for texture and SEM interior. Not perfect but not bad for almost 50yr old dash.

    DIY Dash Restoration

    So like everything else with my truck it’s a labor of love. So I figured I’d try to fix the dash. Forgot to take a top before pic but you’ll get the idea. Spray foam, Bondo Glass, a lot of sanding….

    Painting the gas tanks

    Didn’t ask about the prep in the first round of questions but noticed you said all on how you prep so figured I’d ask. Truck most likely will never see rain or snow but as this whole thing is learning lesson, I figured I would put some time in on something you’re probably never gonna see and...

    Painting the gas tanks

    Where I started and where I’m at. Do I need to bring all the way down to shiny metal before any type of paint/epoxy? And still don't know if I'll POR/KBS or epoxy prime.
