Well I got the ol right outside yesterday and wore it out with the power washer. It may not look much different than before but in person I promise it looks better.

I found this product at rural king. Smells just like por15 And is identical in function at half price.

First off tho these rear spring hangars are toast, newbies on the way along with, 38 gallon tank, fenders, rad support. Also a yellow tape box is enroute.
I'm hoping by next Monday this thing will look like a truck.

I have to cut my rear spring hangers off. Looks like zip disc and pound the rivet through. What size hammer did you need? 3#?

My air chisel with a point punched them right out. I almost feel bad they really came off with not much issue. I know some people have really battled them.
My best deal found was a 2pack of kits with bolts and all for like 60$ to my door on eBay.

Those parts just seem way thinner to me than they should be don't they? Top that off with the fact that they're designed in such a way that they hold so much dirt and silt the rust is inevitable if you live anywhere where they use salt. Just seems like a bad design, I agree.

The truck looks like it's coming along nicely. Should be in ship shape in no time. Keep up the good work.
