I got the tub off my '73 frame. The motor, trans and drive shaft are out. I
want to clean this one up, before I dismantle it. I could pull it to good car
wash, with a tow bar.

I took the '77 frame apart and cleaned up the pieces. Unfortunately, the frame
was rusted through along the axle area, where the rear extentions were welded
on. Safety bumper you know.

My worry is that I will fill the frame up with water that I will never get out
and the rust will start it's build up with gusto!

I suppose I could fill it up with vinegar. I cleaned up my gas tank with
vinegar. When I drained it and dried it, surface rust started immediately.

What is the next step, after the vinegar eats up the bad stuff? Shoot
anti-rust stuff in the frame and fill the gas tank with gas and never let it
get below full, for any length of time?
