My Express Van has a thick black cosmoline type wax substance on the outside and inside of the frame, and it has failed miserably in preventing rust as I have to section out and replace half of it because it rotted so bad it has disintegrated.
I purchased half a frame from a wrecking yard and plan to swap it a couple feet in front of the front spring hanger to the rear bumper.
My "new" frame section has rusty areas (surface) and I really wanted to strip it down and epoxy prime, but this waxy stuff is very difficult to remove from the nooks and crannys esp around the cross members, spring hangers etc. After using oven cleaner and two miserable pressure washing sessions in the rain/snow and much wire brushing I am ready to use whatever else is available that will stick to this crap, but nobody I have asked locally has anything available.
Its just a work truck, any suggestions?
