I recently bought a 1979 Chevy K10 pickup with 71k miles. It has lived its whole life in Tucson and I had it shipped to Kansas City. This truck really has no rust on it. The sun has oxidized the single stage paint pretty well but that's a different thread.
I have been trying to find a product that I can apply to prevent rust on this truck. I have found products like Waxoyl and Dinitrol in the UK but not in the US. These products are thin waxy, oily substances that seep into every crack and crevice and then the VOCs dissipate leaving behind a waxy coating that is somewhat healing. You do typically have to retreat every couple of years.
I have seen in the Range Rover forums and some others that they love this stuff.
However, I can't find these or a similar product in the US. I like the idea of treating with something that seeps into all the small areas. I have heard of guys that spray WD40 inside of the compartments attemping something similar.
Is anybody aware of a product like this and where to get it? Sure wish I had just missed it here on Autogeek!
Would love some ideas on rust prevention. I really don't want to start exposing this old truck to Kansas City weather in the naked. It's been living inside of a repair shop since February getting some minor things redone and not exposed as of yet. I do plan on getting the bed Line-X'd.
Thanks for any ideas!
Steve
