Rust inside body panels and trac bars question

2 questions that has been bothering me that I need to figure out. With me coming by some money later this year I´m doing quite a bit to hop up my 390, however I need to be able to put that power down to the ground and not have wheel hop. I realize there is no kits for these trucks, however has anyone purchased a traction bar kit for a seperate truck that will work to put on my bump? My fabrication skills are very sub par so the easier to put these in would be great.

My 2nd question is what do you guys do to remove rust inside body panels that don´t unbolt, such as inside the bed panels? Take off the bed and sandblast it i´m assuming?

Lakewood makes a set of slapper bars for pickups. I put set on my '69. Better then nothing.

Here is a universal kit made by pro comp, but is your truck lifted, lowered, stock?

I will be doing with these at some point and will post up when I do

These are just the example because you have to measure to find out what length you need. I think you measure the leaf spring and get the equal length. It goes on the frame on the front mount and between the leafs and axle on the rear
