Re: 1986 Short bed 2WD
You can clean those headers up easy using electrolysis!
Get a big Rubbermaid bin, fill it with water and about a 1/4 cup of Arm & Hammer washing soda.
Drop a piece of scrap steel in the solution (old brake rotors or rebar work great), connected it to Positive (+) on your battery charger.
Suspend the header in the solution (don't touch the scrap steel), connected it to Negative (-) on your batter charger.
Turn the charger on and walk away. Come back a day or two later, and all the rust will have come off.
Rinse, dry, and BBQ paint!
