I finished up installing the new leaf spring bushings, and got the springs cleaned up and painted, and also blasted and painted the drums. The next night when things were dry, I got the rear axle installed with some new u-bolts, bent up and installed new brake lines, and got the rear shocks installed. I got all of the rubber fuel lines installed, and the new tank selector valve installed. Tonight I spent a few hours cleaning up the huge mess I had in the shop, then got the core support cleaned up, sanded, primed, and painted satin black, and also got the engine brackets blasted and painted.
Did you sand blast the core support or just wire brush and sand it?
