I bought a 54 3100 3 weeks ago. The problem is the last owners grandsons sandblested the front of the cab 3 months ago and lost interest. It was outside and the front is rusted back up. My shop is about another 3 months from being ready to work in so the truck is still outside. I can cover it with a tarp and pray, or what I have started as a temoprary fix is to take a wire brush on my grinder then use navel jelley rinse and grind more navel jelley and repeat. I can only do about 4 applications before I run out time. This gets it to a point that there is only slight rust still in some of the pits, but mostly clean metal. Then phosporic acid converter, duplicolor primer sealer and then canned acrylic enamel spray paint for 2 coats. I will strip it and sand blast what rust there is left late summer and use a good 2 part primer. Would I be better off to leave it alone.
