I purchased a 1989 ford f350 dump truck that needed some work. I have replaced the cracked exhaust manifold that had the broken studs and am on to the next adventure. Today I raised the dump body and began the long tedious task of removing the flakes of rust that are all around the frame, spring mounts, cross beams etc. I intend to now wire brush the frame as clean as I possibly can.
The advise that I am seeking is what to do next, after the rust is all removed, and I am sure that I have a solid frame? What would be the best method to protect it ? I have heard that covering the frame with a coat of chain saw oil would be a good way to do this. I live in Pennsylvania we got lots of snow ,ice and salt any suggestions would be much appreciated, Thanks Larry
