No, not yet. I will though when i install the suspension lift. I'll have everything apart at that time so it'll be an opportunity at that time. For now, i just gave it a coat of gloss black tremclad.

thanks for the compliment,to do the entire undercarriage of the cab and the outside of the frame front to rear(2 coats) I used 2 quarts did not cost me a dime because my boss payed for it(nice part of working at a bodyshop)but if I did pay for it I would have spent $90.00.

Interesting!!! And looks really great!!! Add that to my list of "Just gotta dos"

A couple other options:

1) There's an electronic thing that is supposed to stop rust that our Canadian Tire stores sell here in Canada.

2) There's a rust conversion chemical that can be brushed on rusting surfaces. It's apparently a chemical that has used by some industries for many years. I'd bought a bottle 15-yrs ago but never used it.

Sorry - I don't have the names for either at the moment.

I'm back

This must be it (#1 above)
http://www.counteractrust.com/counteract-rust-prevention-products.htm
http://www.counteractrust.com/Canadian%20Tire%20CounterAct.htm

as for #2 the chemical seems there's Rust Check & Rust Killer (desc. says it's for frames) and Tremclad
http://www.rustcheck.com/products.asp
and "Tremclad Rust Reformer" says it chemically bonds and transforms existing rust
here's an excellent article on how rust converters work...
http://www.alan.net/prgshoptips/rustconv.html

and a good article from one of my hometown papers listing rust converting products...
