A few weeks ago, someone said they had there hatch struts replated and they turned out great. I am trying to find out who it was and where they had it done! thanks.

I think tjsblazer just had a post about having parts zinc plated. Look on his build thread.

Recently I had a batch of parts zinc plated including struts: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...&postcount=208

I'd also recommend re-phosphate coating (Parkerizing) for the parts that received this from GM: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...&postcount=114

One thing I didn't think of Pete that I should have Parkerized, because I believe it to be the correct finish, was the bucket seat mounting hardware and tracks.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the help. I hope to be finished with restoring my 72 K5 in a month or two. I will post some pictures of it when I do and see what you think! I could never have done it with out the help from all of you. Again, thanks drillrod.

I wonder what the process would be to zinc plate at home?
I've anodized aluminum in the past, and was successful with clear anodizing but had difficulty with colors. I now powdercoat, but would like to hear if any members have plated at home before.
