Give Evaporust a try on those smaller parts. It works better (faster) than vinegar, and will loosen the paint as well. The downside is it has gotten expensive, nearly doubled in price to about $32 gal on Amazon.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.

Some days it seems thing move quick, and then others at a snail pace.

Engine is scuffed, primed, and engine builder logos are gone. Have to wait 72 hrs till color according to the paint instructions.

Got some color on the engine tonight. Had my local paint house take the original valve cover and match it. I opted for a matte finish just in case I liked it. I am thinking I will like to clear it.

Your "mild resto" is going to be a nice looking and driving truck for the next 50 yrs. Cheers to you and your effort.

That would be about 500K miles. Hoping it makes another 75K

Front half of the frame painted one more time for good measure simply to add another layer.

Engine is in for the last time.

Got some color inside the cab today. Got some runs but such is life I guess. Got the seatbelts headed in. Unfortunately the carpet is not correct and does not fit.

Interior paint looks great, what type of paint did you use (I am hoping to get my interior painted soon).
