Your coated parts look great.
How much did you spend on the powdercoating?
(If you don't mind saying?)

Haven't got the bill yet - I will be picking up the rest of the order on Monday morn.

I have been cranking on the truck the past few days trying to get it done for GG this weekend. Here is a few updates:

Since I needed to pull the axles for the brakes, I figured it was a good time to change out bearings.

C-notch in and rear shock mount.

"Pichaco" cleans up pretty nice for a 43 year old!

Rick - look at the Vendor section - Captain Fab - makes some brackets that will help you. I'm not positive on size though, thinking 11" for rear. Good Luck!
