I'm still not "getting dirty" in the shop. Welding slag on my Robocop boot wouldn't be good, but that hasn't kept me from picking up some parts.
I have a ZR2 GT4 rear axle and since it has drum brakes decided to use it on the 48. Yesterday I got another one, only this one has disc brakes for the 54.

Since I have a lot of time, I'll clean it up and paint it. Any suggestions? I was thinking about using POR or maybe Master Series rust preventative paints.
I was on the S10 site and they were talking about the Blazer brake upgrade. Since we want the 48 to be about stock height, I picked up the front spindle/hub/brake assembly for it.

The calipers are dual piston and the rotors are a little larger, I've read this will improve braking.
I have some springs that are 3" shorter than stock on the red S10 parts truck, so I picked up these springs since they were stock, free and look almost new.
