Off to powder-coat!!! In a week my frame, running board brackets, radiator saddle, and exhaust manifolds should be shiny black and clean in the mean time I'm blasting my rear end and getting it ready for paint

I stripped the rear end housing and pumpkin and got it cleaned out dropped it off at the powdercoater and picked up my frame at the same time. I also dropped off my spindles and airbag cups and hope to have them back next week. I'm thinking by the end of August I can have the chassis reassembled and on to the cab!!!

Excellent work.

As others have said... you may not be a pro but you have some serious skills.
