Today I pulled all the parts out the vinegar. Washed them off with soap and water and dry in the sun. Then you have to wirebrush and paint to stop oxidation. Here are some of the parts dried. You can see rust is very new compared to what they did look like a few days ago. Wire brushed a small area to show the difference. Vinegar works well. And wire brushing is very fast since you dont have to press down at all. Before image After vinegar and a spot wire brushed on 1 part.

Well today I welded up some more of the step notches. Had to go to the dr. First and run by welding apply and swap out my oxy/act bottles so I could cut some metal out of the way.
Then about 2 hours before dark I run out of wire in my welder. So off to harbor freight to get a new 10# roll. Always go with large rolls. This roll lasted me a long time.
This truck was spotted on the way to swap my oxy/act bottles. Had to snap a couple shots of it.
Now for my progress.
