I am new to this forum and this is my first post!! I've learned so much from this site and never really thought about signing up till now! Haha

The reason for this thread is that I have 1993 f150, 5L 302 V8 that I'm looking to restore to a neat game day ride. A strong engine that has about 200k miles on it but was so well maintained from the previous owner that it runs like a top. Gotta love a solid 302 right? Well after a some normal and updated PM done, like transmission and coolant flush, differential lubed, belts and hoses and and plugs redone, etc, for my own peace of mind, I really want to get underneath the truck and treat the undercarriage. It looks like it hasn't been cleaned since of the factory lot. I'm gonna replace the shocks and struts after but what chemicals or methods do yall suggest to use in order to get that old built up grease and minor corrosion that have accumulated and stayed on the driveshaft, axles and suspension and such. Also what undercoat do yall suggest to apply owhen everything is as clear as possible? Thanks guys.

 

Clean with a pressure washer and the wide spray nozzle every fall and spring. Apply a sprayed on coat of used motor oil afterwards. It won't ever rust if you do that.
