Since the whole point of this truck is do build it in a small garage. I'm gonna show you guys how I strip large parts from rust. I'm in the big inning stages of building a new bed and needed the cross sills. You can buy new ones fairly I expensively but this was only about 20 Bux. To strip the sills I use one of my favorite techniques. It's cheap but requires some time. I built a troph out of 1x8 and some scrap oak pieces I had laying around. Then line it with a plastic drop cloth folded over a few times. Put the parts in and fill with vinegar. I just put them in the bath. Each day I like to scrub them with a wire brush and repeat in the bath. After a few days they will look brand new. I made the troph big enough to bath two sills at a time. After these first two are done I'll put in the rear most sill.heres a few pics
