I hate setbacks!
Well I been on my truck pretty good lately. Check my post about installing a 8" mustang rear.
Well IM out of POR chassis paint. Wont have it here until Monday. No painting this weekend.
Then I thought hey I can work on my front springs. I got out my new bolts and realized I was sent the rear kit by mistake.
Another set back, so I just ordered the bolt and bushing kit for the front.
I can make up some axle plates for the U bolts and drill some more holes.
Maybe next weekend I can roll it out of its hidding place since winter.
oh well
Anybody need a rear bolt and bushing kit?

Too bad you're not in WI this weekend, there's a big swapmeet with at least three POR-15 dealers. Plus, while you're there, you could look at all the rusty parts.
I know your pain, it happens to me all of the time, Sunday afternoon, only need to mount one thing and I don't have the part and everyone is closed. It always happens on a Sunday night.

that's when you have to shrug it off, grab a frosty beverage and proceed with the "staring at the truck" portion of the build

I hope you have a good stock of frosty beverages so you don't run out of those and don't have any when it's time to start the "staring at the truck" point. That would be a real kick in the "know whats"

kinda like twisting two rocker bolts off at about 12:30 at night. then getting up early the next morning and wasting 2 hours finding easy out, drill bits, new bolts, etc. then unscrewing the twisted bolts with you fingers.
