Re: Build that 71 402 already
Finished my leaf springs. I'm real happy with them, but not how I got here. Knock on wood they're the biggest error on this project. Dummy figured the temporary coating was good. Second mistake was probably not removing them, so tons of prep to spray. One can of epoxy primer and nearly two cans of black in 2k aerosol. Expensive stuff but nice finish. I'm just not good with a spray gun. To do over again they'd be powder coated, but I don't see that in my future.
They call it hot rod black satin. Sounds nearly flat, but it's a nice sheen satin.

With assys, the guide accts for 1000s details such as OEM identifications& part numbers, written in short order. 700+ images include assm, illust., charts, and points of interest. Much of the info. applies to all 67-72 GM trucks, and to a lessor degree all 67-72 GM vehicles. My build thread, and more on the guide https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=730025
