the 250 was done up decent at one point in time. the frame was painted, but its starting to peel off. when i ditch the bed i'll try to clean it up as best as possible and coat it in something. do they carry that por 15 crap at the chain parts stores or do you have to order it?

Anyone ever use any of those lube locker diff cover gaskets? Seems they might be good but at like $40 each shipped seems kinda pricey. Especially when i need two of them for the 14b.
