I think you are right, but she would make for a pretty LEO.

[ I hope it doesnt take too long....two of our trucks (out of the 4 in our fleet) are on their last leg. We already lost one truck (that issue has since been taken care of by buying a used crown vic) and mine is starting to give us (more) issues. We are in the running for a grant from USDA...

Congrats! I hope I get one approved quickly.

Welcome, best to not ask questions or complain.

Why do you prefer the 5 ton?

I cant recall where, but there is info available that indicates the load capacity and stroke length of lift cylinders (maybe Strongarm?). The downside is,if they ever give way you may get hurt very badly. Unlike a car or van , the weight is much greater and you body is in a different position...

Body cavity wax is always the best plan.

Cut out the rust and replace it with new/used metal.

Ouch!

(Needle scaler.) Yes, what fun!

Dipping is not the same as the sandblasted effect, there is no degregation of the surface texture. A dipped parts looks as if it is new. I have seen old rusty engine blocks come out looking as though they just left the foundry.

Oven cleaner is also a great degreaser for parts. I have used plenty on machinery and vehicles.

In plain speak, phosphating is rust resistant coating. Google it for a more technical response. Anything can be painted as soon as you like after dipping, or longer if kept dry. Phosphating increases the amount of time before you see surface rust start. Some places offer a lanolin based coating...

Nothing beats having your panels dipped in an alkaline immersion bath (such as Redistrip). After dipping you can remove the white coating left and have the part phosphated before priming with a good quality catalyzed primer.

The important thing is to make certain the values quoted by your agent are representative of a similiar quality vehicle as yours. A TLV (total loss valuation) will generally be completed to reach an ACV (actual cash value) for your vehicle. The parts pricing may not total your vehicles , but a...

Thanks, SeToyota says he will try as well. Maybe one of you will get the time to. I know my schedules are usually modified by outside events on a hourly basis. Thanks again.

At the time I was using Sherwin Williams ultra 7000 with a matting agent. It appeared to have no clearcoat when dry.

So has anyone ever clear coated their carc paint. I used to do it with weapons and really liked the increased durability it offered.

You should definitely be concerned about isocyanates in modern paints! I will always wonder if my sons birth defects were a result of me painting too many vehicles in a dense fog of paint and clearcoat.:-|

I would appreciate a quick lookover on the deuce I am bidding on, if anyone is going there in the next two days. Thanks, PM me for details
