You should just get the entire truck Line-X'd inside and out. No more rust! Ever! Except it'd probably be 500 pounds heavier. But that's ok since it's a heavy half.

i want to do a frame off rebuild and linex the frame, but that aint happening. yeah, the heavy half with worn out rear springs......once i get the money its new rear leaves, and no more sag. but its got 197k so id say the springs did there job. the front are like a year old and i replaced those, but not by choice. u can thank the city of Norwich and 3 rivers college for that. the road leading to one of the campus' was all washboard on one side of the "inbound" lane, and I broke a spring. i think it was goin anyway and this "helped" it.

We should give this some more thought, could be onto something here
Careful there!!!
I've been in more than one thread where "rep" is mentioned and it turns into just that.
Then the Mods show up, lock the thread, and everybody gets spanked....

I know you max out at about 20 that you can give in any 24hr period.
I don't know how many you must "spread" before you can rep someone again.

I would have thought George would have caught a whiff of this already and made the neighborhood cop tour of the forum.
