Hey Holehawg,
What kind of coating did you put on your springs? Paint? Your truck looks great!!!!

My front end is making some sort of loud banging noise - If I have to take it apart I may at least "paint" all the parts to make it worthwhile.

I want to be on the road before the Aug long weekend. I'm hoping to get a few thousand Km on the truck so I can have the major bugs out before the West Yellowstone Rod Run. Might be a pipe dream but thats the goal.

I powder coated all of the Burgandy parts you see. All the black is POR 15 which was then topcoated with tremclad that has a universal hardner added. It was sprayed on once the POR was tacky but wouldn't stick to your finger when you touched it. I beat it with a hammer just to test a couple of spots and its hard stuff I tell you.
