I can't determine what treatment was used on a 70 regarding the underside. It looks like the steel was coated with something. Anyone have any ideas?

Well, there is something in or on the underside panels, ie the floor pans. I scraped all of the old dirt and leaking fuel off...I took some scrapings outside and set them on fire. They burned. Anyway, Remember how the old time pots and pans were coated with something that made them shiny? Same sort of stuff, it seems.
The lack of rust on this tub is astounding. |

I removed the black undercoating using a combination of heat/scraping and carb cleaner. Worked well (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
