Now that I had the engine out, I could see just how 30 years of crud can make things look absolutely filthy, so I pushed the truck out of the garage and bought a case of oven cleaner and went nuts. Unfortunately, I did not think to take pics of the before and after but the difference was like night and day once done.
The frame was looking a bit crusty with rust, so out with the wire wheel and naval jelly! This was very time consuming, as I went all OCD and decided to completely remove the front suspension and rebuild everything (sigh). I used Eastwood's Extreme Chassis Primer and then Chassis Paint and thought it turned out alright.
