I've used Cloves in my campers and boats.

Arm and Hammer "Washing Soda" about 1 cup to ten gallons of water. Don't use stainless for your electrodes. Do this outside it does release a hydrogen gas which is lighter than air and could possibly collect in upper areas.

Looking good Dennis. I just did a set of wire spoke wheels It took the paint off and cut the final prep time down considerably. I used a garden hose as you did. The next time I do some painted or rusted parts I want to try and use a low pressure pressure washer something with more omph behind it...

Have you considered using electrolosis? It is a simple set up. Just make sure you do it outside it does produce a hydrogen gas that you dont want lingering in any enclosed area. Also do not use stainless for your electrodes. Leave in the solution which is non toxic for 24 hours. Parts come out...

There should a test and license for "Common Sense".

Barry that is a scary picture reminds of my grandfather sticking pennies in the fuse box. I was a kid and knew this can't be right! Electricity is a mystery for a lot of people.

Thank You to all that answered my question. I used the electrolytic rust removal method over the past weekend on the running boards and it works great. I have been giving a lot of thought to trying this on the wheels with some fancy electrode manipulation to get the "blind" areas due to the line...

Great suggestions on the painting setups. I will be using a few of them. I have a question What ways are there to remove the rust and old paint in the tight areas in preparing for the new paint? Thanks in advance.

Congratulations! Nice barn find as the others have said take lots of pics thru out the project and keep us updated. I can't decide if i like pick ups or panels more! I like all old Fords!

If the toggle switch cylinder is in good shape the grooves on the spring loaded click ball are all good I recommend not removing it or the brass plug. The key cylinder needs to be out before you can do this and the toggle switch itself should be in the position where you will get the full range...

Gary here are some pictures if they help.
