UPDATE:
Got some sun and some time this afternoon while the baby slept and got to work on cleaning the front end of 40+ years of grime. In hindsight, even before starting today, I wish I had taken the truck somewhere to clean without worry; but oh well.
I hooked my pressure washer to our hot water line for our washer, man what a difference then from the other night using cold water. It was extremely filthy, took my three times as long to clean off the drive afterwards. But I am happy it is done.
There is still some residue in hard to reach places, but I can address those when I tear down those sections (brakes, coils, etc). I keep saying it, but I am trying to get ready to be in the garage for the long haul, once the snow comes. We have had a crazy long fall, snowing only once in early October.
I know its not exciting, but for anyone who has cleaned their own chassis may appreciate this.
