Ok kids. How should I paint the frame. Should I wire wheel it down to bare metal and under coat it ( my uncle has a shop which does under coating) or should I do it with a gloss or tremclad or something

87-91 are 8th gens

92-97 are 9th gens 97 they had only f250 and 350s. 150s went to the new body style. they also had a LD f250 that looked like the next body style 150.

and 7th gen im a little fuzzy on but i think they are 80-86.
