Re: Rebuilding my 1977 plow truck

So after sandblasting I used KBS coatings on the frame. It is like POR15. I blasted the frame, treated with their rustblaster and brushed the coatings on. When everything was dry after about a week, I bent new copper/nickel lines for the fuel and brake systems. I also replaced all of the engine/trans mounts with energy suspension poly mounts. I replaced all of the rubber hoses on the brake and fuel systems. I also replaced the shocks while I was at it. I had replaced the springs on all 4 corners about 10 years ago, everything looked good there so I left well enough alone. I also bent up new heat shields for the fuel valve, exhaust pipe passenger side and the fuel hose shield on the drivers side from 16 gauge stainless steel with stainless bolts holding them on. I used all stainless clamps and bolts on the lines so hopefully nothing gets crusty again.
