Saludos desde Mexico 🇲🇽 The old steam cleaner. I used to run one at a welding shop I worked at in the late 1950s. Nothing could stand up to that. And what miserable work it was😵💫 But I was just 17 and nothin could stand up to me. 😂😂
Enjoying this build a lot. Those old Toyota trucks are very cool. I live in north Texas and that red dirt is clay and once it gets oil soaked and hardens in the heat the only way I've ever gotten it off is with a wire wheel on a drill or grinder. Honestly, you've done pretty well with just a power washer, but those last bits are gonna require a wire wheel or something like it.
My frame was about the same. Dollar tree oven cleaner, scraper, twisted wire brush on and angle grinder and pressure washer...wasn't fun. But you do get some well protected stuff under it.
@@Tommyp65 no this is going to stay a long bed since the frame and bed are both long bed parts. I doubt I’d find any decent short bed frames/beds around here and these are too decent to cut up. This truck will end up being a shop truck/ stuff hauler, so a long bed is perfect.
Where would a guy source a set of factory replacement bushings for placing the new cab on? I'm swapping a cherry, rust-free pickup cab on a tandem axle Motor Home chassis an I don't have any bushings at all.
If you want that stuff off your frame get a jug of RTX9 turbo by Bradley systems. Put it in a spray bottle with a 50% concentrate and let it soak for 20 minutes hit it with the pressure washer. It’s the best degreaser I ever used plus it won’t eat into aluminum.
@@6thGearGarage it’s nice it has good home i just bought one with rusted out a pillars so that’s why i asked 😅 saved me a lot of time that way but hey i love a good challenge to make it fit perfect with the rest of the a pillar 😁
I'd like to find something to spray on the frame and let it soak to soften the gunk, so that I can clean it myself with the pressure washer. I don't have a trailer to bring it to a sand/water blaster. I'm going to pull the engine and trans and give it another try.
I have a question, I bought a1967 Toyota stout , I would like to know if someone know how to get parts for it or where to take parts to be rebuild. Any info would be appreciated thanks.
Good morning. Right now Iam going to need a repair kit for both master brake cylinder and the clutch master cilinder and the and CARBURATOR parts. Do you know where I can get parts for this truck?. Thank you for responding. My name is Mayron.
@@6thGearGarage good morning, thank you for responding, Iam going to need most of all help with information where to look and buy if somebody sell parts for this truck. Thank you very much I really appreciated.
@@DeltaMike7773 Are you near any Toyota dealerships? Surprisingly, they still offer a lot of parts for these older trucks, although they usually have to be special ordered.
hey i work at a pressure wash place looks like you need to invest in a tip called a rotary nozzle we nicknamed it a turbo will clean anything easy but dont hit yourself with it or you will get a injury instantly anyways just a suggestion like your page or whatever its called sorry im and older guy and dont know all the lingo
I actually have one. It works great for cleaning the sidewalks and patio. None of the tips I have worked well on this grime though, even the 0 degree tip. I probably need more pressure.
Use Acdelco carburetor cleaner , the strongest degreaser ever, it will clean the transmission and the other parts like Magic with the pressure washer im really serious ، you will be 100% Happy with the results
I washed a 50s grader last year that was caked in oil and dirt, I used a hot water tank in line to my pressure washer, works like magic.

Yeah, great to see you using the truck!! looking good. Hope everyone is doing well and can't wait to see the 80 done!

Thanks 👍
Nice job, this is the next step in my 83 Toyota project, I just mounted my new box last night.
These small pickup trucks were so cool. Simple and reliable. It's sad that they don't make them anymore.
I agree, I love them. Not everyone wants a huge truck or needs to haul a lot of weight.
And that frame looks killer
My frame was about the same. Dollar tree oven cleaner, scraper, twisted wire brush on and angle grinder and pressure washer...wasn't fun. But you do get some well protected stuff under it.
A wire wheel or a metal wire brush and some elbow grease should clean that grime and dirt off the frame really well
Nice, I am working on a similar project. Thanks for giving me ideas.
AMAZINGNES!!!
That new frame is pretty mint really. As for the dirt, maybe a hot pressure washer would shift it? Seems crazy how well caked on it is
Nice job man! Keep it up
A turbo nozzle for your power washer will strip that grit and grim in seconds down to bare metals.
Thanks, I will look in to those. What I really want though is one of those 2000w laser cleaners :)
@@6thGearGarage absolutely. Are you gonna do a short bed conversion?

@@6thGearGarage I see, your doing a great job, best of luck 👍

Did you check the dealership? They can actually order a lot of the wear & tear parts for these older trucks.
@@6thGearGarage ha!
Nope. I will tho. Thx.
Thank you

Do you perhaps sell both a pillers by any chance?
The entire rust free roof/a pillar/b pillar section already went to a good home
@@6thGearGarage it’s nice it has good home i just bought one with rusted out a pillars so that’s why i asked 😅 saved me a lot of time that way but hey i love a good challenge to make it fit perfect with the rest of the a pillar 😁
do a frame restoration might as well
Yeah I am going to paint it before dropping in the new drivetrain and cab
How about sandblasting or water blasting the frame and other items?

Oven cleaner it's gear oil and dirt sure that trans leaks a good amount
Probably should have left that coating on it, and just sprayed used oil on it…. ;-)
I think that coating might be stronger than what's left of the frame on most of the Yotas I've owned
@@6thGearGarage Here in the salt bin, I would have just left it.
Too scary to take a chance of bare metal seeing the light of day.
Well, that was over sooner than I expected.
No advice on the grime.. I think petrol did the same thing that degreaser would do.

Eazy off oven cleaner!
Good idea!
Do you what to sell windshield?
It's already sold.
Muratic acid?
I ended up soaking it with gas to soften it up, doing some scraping and spraying with the pressure washer.
