Not exactly sure what they used in the 40's, but I use a new product to replace it with called Tiger seal. Avail from most automotive paint stores.

Thats a form of tar, can't remember the name 'not roofing tar'. Open up a Model T
coil box and that's what you will find. |

Thanks for the info. My floors are actually not that bad. Maybe two small holes but it's still pretty strong. I'm going to sand them down, apply Rust Bullet and Then Rust Bullet Black She'll and that should protect it until Jesus returns. Lol

Re: What is this stuff???
FoMoCo used a coating that is basically just like undercoating in the cars of the 50s to keep the noise and temperature levels in the cab more stable. I don't know if they did this in the late 40s or not. There are much better products that can be used in this day and age that will perform better and cause less corrosion problems. The old under coat stuff would crack open and allow moisture in between it and the metal effectively holding it there to aid in cancer growth. The old jute floor pads didn't help the matter much either since they were like a sponge.

Re: What is this stuff???
Asphaltic products usually had a fiber of some sort in them to increase their strength. Possible asbestos content is but one of the many hazards associated with old autos. Other hazards that I can think of are lead, busted knuckles and wife finding out what you actually spent on the car.
It is well known that brakes also had asbestos in them. Use a respirator for the brakes, this stuff your talking about probably isn't much of an airborne hazard. |
