I have a 53 half ton thats gone two winters here in Washington.Its just fine and Its ready to be painted, but it's a f000. And I have a 51 chevy so I stoped and refocused my eforts on the 51. It's coverd with 2 coats of DP 40 sealer primer from Ditzler. Good stuff and it's ment to be a base coat for painting over as zero rust in my opinion isn't a good base and I would sand it off before painting over it.O.K. I can't get the picture on here, But you really don't want to see a f000 any way. O. [img]http://pics.montypics.com/tbelfield10/2003-09-26/1064624483_truck0003.jpg[/img]
