Re: 67' Flareside "Old Grey"
Good evening. I thought I would throw a pic to kinda let folks know where Im at on my rebuild. Been so damn busy lately with work and I love it. Anyhow, heres where Im at on the project. ![Thumbs up :thup:](./images/smilies/icon_thumright.gif)
I have the brakes rebuilt and painted, leaf springs are ready to go. Just kinda messin around with ideas for the rear end. I have a LS 3.25 gear diff. I think I wanna slip in a 3.50 Locker. Once the rearend gets put back together either way I can slap it all back together and start to move forward. Keep it goin guys. It wont be like this forever, we will have him out of office in two years. ![Thumbs up :thup:](./images/smilies/icon_thumright.gif)

Re: 67' Flareside "Old Grey"
Ewwww, that reminds me. If you use POR 15, immediately distribute a "new" can when you get it into a number of small mason jars. You can get a flat of the small jars from walmart for 10 bucks or so. The glass is so easy to wipe clean after your pour it into your paint cup and ya dont have to tipsy toe thru the fkin daisies trying to put ziplock bags or saran wrap or anything between the lid and the jar. Pour, wipe, put the lid back on and get to painting. I got this tip from por15 customer service after i had to literally DESTROY the can of black I got from them to open it the first time. BTW I caught harbor freight on a special and bought something like 40 1" wide brushes for .19 a piece. keep your eyes peeled for specials like it. I cant imagine using anything bigger than a 1" brush on this type of work with this type of paint. Its not like we are painting a barn here. Goodnight yall, hope the jar tip helps, I know its made my life much sweeter.
Ahh, also, pour a cnthair or their thinner in with the paint ur painting from. You would be surprised how much farther you can go with this stuff while maintaining good thickness.

Wow, looks like somebody got some use out of something I posted with the bushing removal tool!! Glad I could help.
Glad to see somebody is working on some steppers. Not too many on here.
You won't go wrong with that inline 6 in that other stepper you have. I speak from experience!!!
