I like these videos where you're learning or trying something new. It's cool seeing these trucks as they go through the progress.

Fluid film or oil based undercoatings are great for corrosion protection. In this case you should try Chassis Saver by magnet paints, its awesome if the chassis is prepped properly. Rubber undercoating traps moisture

Fluid film is the best option even the hard reach spots that still have rubbized undercoating will soften up after a few weeks when fluod film is sprayed over those areas. After a month in warm temps the rubber mixed with fluid film will scape off easy

I had to learn the hard way about rubberized frame coatings. Even the hard wax coatings suck.

I don’t use undercoat, but when I built my 03 3rd gen cummins I por-15 the frame the right way (took like 2 weeks lol) and I use roll on bed liner under the cab and under the bed. I live in upstate NY and it’s 2 years later now, I blew my 48re last month so long story short I built a full billet 48re with fat shafts. Needed a 6.7 crank for the converter I got so I’m 6.7 swapping the 03. With the tranny and motor out again I can get a great look at the bed liner under the cab and bed. It is immaculate! Never had a problem with it before but also never really had a truck for multiple years that I could inspect like this. I also did the proper prep and got rid of any visible rust before I rolled the bed liner on. I don’t like the rubber undercoating at all, but por-15, bed liner, and especially fluid film always seem to work for me in the north east. Great video

It’s great to see that truck getting a second chance 👍🏻💯keep up the grind man love to see it

I always used oil base tar undercoat. They use to sell it as sound deadner, dirt sticks to it thou. On a hot day it gets tacky like the blacktop road...

if you want to relift it I highly reccommend "pmf" rear shackle flip brackets. it got me 2.5 inches of lift in the rear. then i put a 4" block instead of the factory 2" block and truck is perfect

My Escalade came rust free from Florida to PA so we undercoated it when it got here to prevent winter rust

Awesome video Ryan! This build is going to rock! Keep up the great content!

I use Hammerrite spray on my crown Vic's frame after sanding. Roadsalt in the winter here in Norway. Not good for the brakeparts. Has replaced the rotors too. Has not used any Fluidfilm. Can not have some underflush. Must recoat the fluidfilm about every year.

There's a guy here on YT that did a comparison of undercoat, and rust converters that didn't think much of Eastwood and suggested another product that had an acid etch to it that actually converted the rust. The site is Repair Geek and I thought he did a good job with his testing. Here in New England , it's a bear to keep things rust-free. My F350 7.3 got eaten alive by salt.

Lps 3 the frame, once dry lay some duplicolor professional undercoat over the top of that, very similar to how they came from the factory, lasts years and stops the rust if done correctly

2 more recommended things, turbo nozzle for pressure washer, and garden sprayer with pump for the rust treatment

Thanks for the information as always, I have used the Raptor Bed liner a few times on some trucks/Jeeps I have done without a glitch (so far)…. Frame paint it is THANKS RYAN

The best solution is what the military has been doing since ww1. RP-342! It's a wx base cosmoline and can be found on amazon. It's superior to paint in every way for preventing rust and is so effective it was designed to be use on bare steel. That's why you can pop open a crate of ww2 rifles and find zero rust. Frame paint is good bt a pinhole is all I takes to negate its protections and RP-342 WILLMSELF SEAL and prevents water and salts from getting under it even if a spot is missed.

Those types of products for rust converters are a phosphate solution, they convert iron oxide to iron phosphate chemically. Wonderful products and amazing for restoration work of all kinds.

My truck needs this attention so bad! I'm still interested in the wheels when you're done with them

Awesome video !! Great build glad it was an old school video not with all the background noise and nonsense at the other shop keep it up!!

If needle scaler quits working you’ve rounded over your needles. I took mine out and put a square corner back on them with a flap wheel and it was like new again

Hey man if you lift it get the front and rear leafs rebuild by Denver spring. They can make leafs longer and add smaller ones for a more comfortable ride. Plus tell them you want to lift it as well. Don't do the blocks adds so much wheel hop and can break stuff.

there is something so satisfying watching a needle gun bust rust

Gloss frames also make it harder to spot leaks!

Rust oil undercoating is the best and self heals and doesn't trap water. I agree, rubberized is crap.

Question. When using this rust converter, if you overspray on to something, lets use a shock as an example, that has no rust, will it stain or anything to that shock?

ingersol rand makes a needle scaler its a bit bigger but its 5x better then the small one you have

I spray paint my car and truck chassis and floorboards and frame, including the underside of my truck bed with rust olem black paint. Helps keep the underside of my car and truck protected when they put road salts and chemicals on the roads. That extra protection sure does help a lot.

Nope. Leaves are the best.

Rubberized undercoat is very good BUT it’s only effective when there is absolutely no moisture, dirt, rust etc on the surface. I would only put it on a brand new cars or a very, very well prepped surfaces like e.g during/after a restoration. But for my taste I would always choose a regular chassis paint and then wax or oil coat the undercarriage. Pressure wash it once after the winter and coat it again. I prefer having the surface smooth so the dirt have harder time sticking to the surface and it’s easier to clean then the rough texture of the rubberised undercoat paint.

I saw your marketplace add. I shared it with a couple ford guys I know here in the Youngstown area. Hope it works out.

I definitely don’t miss when I wire wheeled my first gens entire frame

Frame paint then like mustie1 use bar and chain oil if it’s gonna be a winter rig

I agree about the rubber coating and the spray in bed liner crap. That stuff cracks and is the cause of rust!!! It is junk!!

Loving this build brother!

I find that rust converter can make the surface you treated does not allow the top coat to mechanically bond.

Its amazing the difference in that frame already 😲

Loving the new build watched you create the banana ram start to finish and plan to do the same for here on out man proud of your work and happy to see beautiful trucks be built by the owner and not a shop lol

Personally I recommend powder coating and applying undercoat liner on the frame 😅

Hats off to you for bringing this truck back from the dead. I would have run from it with all that rust...yikes!

I used a rattle can of rubberized paintable undercoating on a utility trailed frame. It became a rust magnet and it never saw rain. Had to scrape it all off and start over.

Hello great video. I was wondering if you put that after you sprayed the whole truck with the rust remover did you have to wipe that stuff off before you spray painted it?

Impossible to get everything..Overwhelmed, patience of Job! What about acid dipping?

Should try dustless blasting, they can come right to your shop

They make a tyvek coverall btw that is great for messy jobs.

Love the build. You should the opposite of 6.7 lime. Do the body purple with green accents

U r right on. How about using linseed oil or beeswax for car undercoating.

Get a better/ bigger needle scaler, the Ingersoll rand one is awesome!

Hi sir, what are those wheels brands and specifications? Please thank you.

An awesome paint for frames and under body is two part swimming pool epoxy it's made to last year's in direct sunlight and in direct contact with corrosive chlorine it lasts forever under a vehicle out of direct sunlight I use an industrial zinc etching primer then spray it with the epoxy a sandblaster won't even take it off once it's cured

What paint is recommended for painting a frame ?

That frames gonna look goooood! For about 15 minutes, LOL. Shredder truck!

You should try putting the converter in a pressurized garden sprayer.

How do you find a garage that will allow you working on vehicles? I've been looking for a place but they all say no automotive work.

I always used farm and implement paint, usually rustoleum cut 50/50. Get the scale off, and give it time to seep in, suggest at least 74F at night with low humidity ( with fans running ), if not using heaters lol. Always rustoleum rust reformer nowadays first now here and there, that frame will need a ton of it (not a fan of water based, metal loves oil) lol. And invest of a set of PPG nozzles. Like 60 bux. It does a good job, check rust every month or 2 and touch up. In a year or so wont see any usually. Back in the day i use used motor oil, trans fluid, and kerosene with a dash of tide lol. Always tide on the cooling system. It worked ok.

Love how you do it right man

wax or oil are also good because they actively displace water and penetrate around bolts, they sure make it nasty to work on though.

why powdercoat. a frame flex, powdercoat not that much, and if you have chip its hard to do decent touchup. epoxy is better. thanks to share for rust converter tho, ive never seen that before !

undercoat it with old motor oil only downside is dirt sticks to it like a magnet but hey, extra protection right?

Should just pull the cab at this point and do it right the first time. That way you take care of all the rust on the frame and paint it to prevent it from rusting again.

God my truck frame looks mint compared to that jeez that is a lot of work can’t wait to see the finished project

Undercoating is the dumbest thing you can do.

The CHANGE you see in the frame within 30 sec jus blows my mind (not half ass done either) 🖤HUGE TRANSFORMATION !!

Well if you wanna do it the hard way that’s fine I’ve been restoring vehicles for years I appreciate your hard work and dedication to descaling a frame but there’s a much easier way and when you’re done there’s nothing left on it hot water sandblasting at 4000 psi then repeat Hot water sandblasting works much better I used to do it the way you guys did it then I discovered this I threw my air scaler away just saying not judging but try it But I definitely do agree with you on the rubberized undercoat it’s garbage I’m in Canada and we deal with salt shit but try the hot water Sam blasting it makes life so much easier and it doesn’t hurt anything been doing it now for four years with great results

Eastwood is good stuff. Another good rust converter is Ospho. Another good frame paint is Chassis Saver by Monstaliner. Definitely don't undercoat with tar or rubber or spray paint. Those seal in the rust and the frame rots from the inside out. Surface Shield is a non-hardening lanolin based spray coating that prevents rust. Spray inside and outside the box frame. I spray everything under the vehicle except brake rotors and exhaust systems. It's also great to spray inside doors and rocker panels but make sure the door weep holes remain open. Touch up next year and every other year after that. Don't pressure wash under the truck. Spring rains will wash away the salt deposits on the outside of the Surface Shield that never make it to the frame. Surface Shield is also the best anti-corrosion treatment I've found for battery terminals.
