Looks great. Mine is all dusty now that it has been sitting all winter. But i'll get it cleaned up to look like yours soon enough ;)

Not sure if you were told when you bought it that POR15 doesn't like sunlight, thats why it is great for frames and such but not for insides of boxes. It fades away and looks like crap in a hurry.

Hope to see more once you get a chance.

Lol. I like the street parking! I wonder what people driving by would think.
77 c-10 - 77 400 86 700r4 "Emmy"
83 citation - 2.5L Four on the Floor!
88 sierra - reman 350 700r4 "Eleanor"
All normal practicality and rational money handling goes out of the window when it comes to my truck.

that didn't work for me, the second i even PARKED my trucks at home to start tearing into them, the codes inspector was there the next day. my rottie chased him off, but he returned the day after that. neighbors complaining about the "junk" being an eyesore.

Nice work!  I'm green with envy, wishing I had a frame, control arms, axles, etc. that all looked factory new.
