If you intend to clean up that suspension any more, industrial strength oven cleaner and a pressure washer works wonders!

Re: My first truck, purchased April/2011

Nah, it sprays on foamy/thick - easy to shoot what you're pointing at. Ventilation is good - the stuff smells, strong.
Got mine at Menards (couple cans). Spray on, let sit overnight if you want - then pressure spray clean. Repeat all if necessary.
Of course it'd probably eat the paint on your truck/parts, so take care!

Not sure your intentions overall for the truck, but if you wanted to clean some of that suspension and prime/paint it - it'd prob. help prolong its life some.

im planning on makin a decent 10-15 footer. but i may do some extra cleaning and painting on the suspension and frame before i get ready to do paint/body work. I'll definitely keep the oven cleaner in mind! thanks.
