Zinc annodes will draw the electrolysis away from the parent metal of the frame and deteriorate before the parent metal rusts, whether it be aluminum or steel.
Bridge Authorities using them on bridges,
We’ll explained George
Also used (much larger) on steel canal barges in UK, probably other boats ships etc. . the zinc is sacrificial and on canal boats usually requires replacing periodically.
We use them on submersible pumps too!
Pipelines for sure - zinc anodes
That teardrop thing is a sacrificial anode, it will erode rather than the chassis it is bolted too. Very common on boats and some land equipment. Quite a good idea, they are relatively cheap and they just sit there and save your chassis.
Actually it isn’t very smart. Zincs only work when totally submerged in water and it’s usually only in salt water and where there is a lot of industrialization like paper mills, chemical plants or any other industry that uses a lot of electricity. I ran 3 big zincs on my lobster boat and everyone else runs zincs in my area and they’re gone within 6 months but my area has 2 paper mills and 2 chemical plants within a 30 mile radius. In areas where there isn’t any industrialization lobstermen don’t even run zincs on their boats and they have no problems. Plus I’ve don’t think zincs work in fresh water either.
@@mikehunt3222 Correct. Zinc works in salt water. Aluminum is used in fresh water.
Hey Clint - you & your 'gang' did an awesome job!! Thumbs up! Good Luck with the auction! Jim
Beautiful Truck
That little gadget (zinc anode) was probably for when the backed the SPY boat down into the water. It would help keep the frame from rusting/corroding.
They probably had some on the SPY boat too.
Since it was back in the 90's we need to ask Maxwell Smart just to be sure
Problem is zincs only work while they’re totally submerged, so when they drove the truck out of the water they did nothing. Plus I’ve never seen a zinc eaten away on a boat in fresh water. Some over educated government idiot must have come up with that bright idea.
... and another one for the Rotary Dial Phone in his Shoe ... LOL. And yes, the Zinc anode is to protect against "Galvanic Corrosion" (happens even when not around Salt Water ... corrosion works 24/7).
@@craigsowers8456 corrosion works 24/7 but zincs do not except when totally submerged and I’ve only seen them eaten away in salt water. The zincs on my outboard at the lake have been on there for 10yrs and still look like new. I’ve been using zincs on my lobster boat for over 35yrs now and they’re gone within 6 months. Zincs on my outboard in the salt water last about a year because the lower unit isn’t in the water all the time, only when I’m out hauling traps or using it.
@@mikehunt3222 Gotcha and sorry if I wasn't clear ... you have Lobster boats so guessing you're from the Northeast. "Road Salts" come into play and once galvanic corrosion sets in, it never stops (unless fully neutralized chemically); which is why painting or oiling over an affected surface will merely drive it deeper ... it is "organic" and needs Oxygen to survive. With this truck being a "Fleet Purchase" by the USG, the "options" are pre-selected as they don't know where the vehicle will be "stationed" ... so ALL of the Fleet will have the Zinc anodes.
@@craigsowers8456 I understand that but zincs won’t work on a vehicle unless the zinc on that vehicle is totally submerged in salt water at all times. If they’re launching a boat with the truck as soon as they pull that truck out of the water and the zinc is exposed to the air it stops working. I could put zincs all over the inside of my boat and they won’t do a damn thing because they’re not submerged in the water. The zincs need the water to attract the electrolysis to them, as soon as they’re out of the water they stop working and do nothing even though they’re attached to the metal frame, IT WILL STILL RUST. You could probably even look this up on google but I’ve known this and experienced this for over 35yrs. When I pull my boat out of the water for 3 or 4 months a year the zincs stop being eaten away and anything steel on the boat starts to rust even stainless, depending on the kind of stainless will start to rust a little.
That's a sweet looking truck with that lift on it!!
Dang.... that's one of my all time favorite trucks. Would love to have it.
Nice, clean, and simple... Perfect
Still the best looking trucks ever built.
That is one seriously clean truck.
Someone is going to end up with a sweet truck!
Absolutely beautiful truck!
Sharp truck Clint. Like what you guys have done with it. Wish i could afford to bid on it.
Great truck and video! Keep up the fantastic work guys.
Nice setup Clint!! Great job guys!!
compared to the heavy duty stuff y’all work in, this project is a cake walk for you guys!
Nice ride, good job guys
I enjoy watching you show. You guys work well together
Looks great.
Super Sweet!!! Someone will have a new truck. Great job, as always.
The truck looks great
That is why you need a pitman arm puller. I like uncle Scott’s comment it’s a ford, won’t go fast enough to vibrate. I think it is more like counterbalance for the rest of the ford vibrations
Well done, great looking truck
Awesome job someone is going to have a great truck !👍👍
Excellent Video.....Excellent Installation........As Always.....Thank You.......
You guys great work on everything that y'all work on Sir
You guys are awesome. Love the videos
Good job Clint and Kevin. Have a great weekend.
Beautiful truck with a neat backstory!! Turned out beautiful
That’s a nice OBS ford, I’m tempted for sure!
Great job!
Great utility l love it in Australia in my collection thanks boys nice work 😊
Very nice Clint I always enjoy watching your videos 🇺🇸
Beautiful truck, nice job on the lift kit install. Good luck on the auction sir, thanks for the update.
Dang super nice truck!!
The engineering that went into the front end is hilarious! Working on Fords is always fun.
Looking sharp. 20 years ago Id like to have it. Somebody will be extremely happy with it.
Wow great job
Great truck and video 😉😉
Oh wow that’s a great looking truck, y’all find some of the best trucks and equipment !!!!
Looks amazing Clinton. You and the guys do great work
Nice job. It definitely needed the 1" blocks in the back
That’s a sweet ride sir! Y’all take care and I’ll see you down the road…
She's a Beauty!! ,,Coffees on!!;-)!!!! You guys are funny ,, lov it!!;-)!
When I saw you dropping the front axle I thought you were going to be putting a 1 ton straight axle in it.
Thank you, always a pleasure watch your video, i learn a lot 👍👍👍👍
Not a surprise on those tires
I see I spy a nice white truck on the high y!!! Nice work thanks for sharing
Hey Clint!! The truck looks sweet!! I like that you have a slight rake to it. Don't know why everyone wants them to sit level.
Nice truck, the lift kits, springs and tires were a good choice. Someone will get a good truck. Keep smilin
Sweetest 90's F Series ever!
it helps with rust on steel decks mostly but you can put them on cars.
GREAT LOOKIN TRUCK!!!!!!!!
That little tear drop thing a mo jig, I can’t tell you what it is. It’s a CIA secret. 😂😂
Ford,Ford they’re the best, drive a mile and walk the rest!
That’s one nice looking truck
I am a newcomer that has been binge watching your videos. Really great videos, beautiful shop, and an outstanding cast of mechanics and information
Someone is gonna be very happy with that purchase. Nice looking truck for sure. You guys have put out another great video. Thanks for sharing ! That was great that you got to take Mrs. C&C out for lunch.
Sure looks a beauty bro and the next video looks interesting. Safe travels
Nice truck 👍
very nice looking truck!
I am not one to really like lifted trucks but this minimal lift really make the truck look better. Nice job! Great find!😊
Hey, you guys take it easy on my tools.
Sharp truck should be a great one 👍🏻🇺🇸
Whatever goes into the shop , be it rusty / crusty. Will come out sweet and impressive.
re the zinc blocks, since the truck came out of Commiefornia from one of the national parks, it could have been one of the parks near/around the ocean up north where salt spray comes in
clint it is a vary nice ruck she should bring a lot off green backs for sure great job and crew
What a beautiful truck, I had one of these in 1997, and yes I think all this style 'twin I beam models drove smoother than you'd normally expect from a 3/4 ton truck.
Good video, and Yessir(s) good and enjoyable video content, so Thumbs Up!
I like how clean their shop is unlike some of the other channels on you tube some of them look like Sanford and Son, plus their truck
Hi clint truck looks great wish it was in my garage . Cheers mate 🇦🇺
Clinton Kevin and crew, great video beautiful truck! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
That 4" lift was quite an undertaking Clint but it does look good. Good assist in keeping Clint straight Kevin. 🛠🛠
My favorite body style!
I wish my OBS looked that good! My is a little worse for wear! Good luck on the sale!
Nice truck!
Great job.Always been a Ford fan but that front axle looks like it was definitely designed by a committee!
man if I lived closer I would be all over this truck. I am looking for an rv puller
Excellent looking Truck very sharp 👍😎🇺🇸NY
That’s a sharp truck
Good looking truck for sure. I think the fact that it rides so good is those rear overload springs you mentioned are really easy ride springs. I had an 03 Superduty truck with easy ride springs on it and it rode real good better I think than the f150's for the times.
Great job on the lift kit for the Ford truck. You guys make it look easy even doing hard jobs. The teardrops are for rust control. They do a good job in preventing rust on the farme of the truck. They use them when the truck is used around salty environments like the ocean or were the roads are salted for ice control.
Not many things look better when they've been lifted, but this truck does. It's really sweet, shame I don't live in the states, as I would be buying it. Nice job on the lift and I really like those tyres. 👍🤗
Beautiful truck
Nice truck.
Very nice truck i just bought a ford f150 2016 model very first ford i bought really like it
Very nice.
Cool truck
Looks great Clint! Truck looks awesome, I love the work y’all did on it! Wish I could afford it but I’m pretty partial to my Dodge 3500 with the Cummins! Oh it’s gasoline powered truck? That’s a game changer for me, I’m pretty stuck on diesel trucks every since I bought mine! Awesome job and awesome video Clint, thanks for sharing brother! Kirk from Louisiana, sending prayers for everyone and their families my friends! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻👌🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
That truck looks sweet. That truck at the end looks mean.. Maybe you can get DP to get it... for Kleeman to drive... 🙂
It's a nice looking truck Clint, the lift kit and tires has really improved the look and stance of your "Spy Truck" the only thing on camera I wasn't fond of is the rear drop link location. 👋
Nice Truck
If you offroad, you will need the longer brake lines. Picture driving through a deep ditch on a diagonal, the suspension will compress on one side and extend on the other far in excess of what it droops to on a jack. Believe it or not, the engineers that designed the system included the longer lines because they are needed.
great video thanks for sharing 👏👏👏👍👍👍
Tin Man fluid. 😂. I’m using that one Clint.
Really like that truck also, wouldn’t mind buying it🤘🏼🇺🇸
Nailed it !
That truck is going to bring in A good penny
Thumbs up 👍 thanks for sharing 😊
A dry Magic Eraser gets scuff marks off really good!!
Clint love what you said. The two I mounted came out perfect, other wasn't mounted right. Love all u all Attitude toward one another no one getting upset. 😂
