Hey Swanny,
... I remember wire brushing my springs. Even so its 17 years ago. You are on your own, brushing inch by inch and see and the minutes'n'hours fly by. You see more leafs on the shop floor and you know how many more hours you are going to spend. And there's more of these never ending jobs. After all I did enjoy all that. I can say I have touched, worked, sanded, sand-blasted, wire brushed, ... every part on my truck myself.
What are you going to put between the leafs ? There's this special anti squeak bands that these Classic Truck places sell. I just went with lotsa grease, but guess that'll go after a while. We'll see.
Greetings from Germany !!!

Swanny,
... I guess you can get the Teflon Liner at any of the major F100 sources. I just checked John's F-Fun Hundreds (www.f100.com) catalog. He sells the 20 fott roll at $10 each. Guess that is a good investment (even so I did not buy it 17 years ago).
