Thank you for the link to that dipping service in Wachula, Florida. Their web site has a good description of the process and prices.
Re video, *.mp4 is as close as it gets to a universal format. YouTube auto converts to *.mp4 on upload so that is a very easy option.

Sweet Flairside I bought one new in 78. A 79 F150 4X4 351 4spd.
That hole from the in cab tank sure took a beating from the water getting behind the gasket.
Love the clean metal look of it after stripping.

Man that is a nice looking truck! I love the chemically striped metal as it bares no scars from abrasives. Is that an EFI setup on the 400?
Bumper company... For a second I had to think about it, but it jarred a memory of from when I was a kid and we would drive through the town next to ours. There was a place where they had stacks upon stacks of big chrome (real) bumpers in the yard. I was never able to get my folks to stop there... I guess that place straightened bumpers and rechromed them. I assume that any of these companies which survive only do truck bumpers and equipment nowadays.
