por-15 is some great stuff, just use it wisely, hmm 73 till (someone help) and up trucks have front suspesion parts that can easly adapt to our trucks.

Just painted my frame I sandblasted with POR-15. Looks great and hard as a rock. All it needs now is a topcaot. Still wearing some on my hands from when I took off my gloves though.

there were some little quicker ratio boxes in 73-80, were optional though, dunno the odds of locating one though, look in glovebox doors on the labels on the trucks if you go hunting in yards for one
