thanks for the info. Unfortunately, my time and money are split between projects. I am limited pretty much to spray paint, probably from a Home Depot or Auto Parts Store. Sucks, I know. Sooooo, what's the best given my situation? Thanks everyone...

I just discovered the magic of wire-brush-on-a-drill. (not to be confused with hot-dog-on-a-stick). I cleaned a test section of my frame and wow! Didn't want to leave bare metal so I sprayed it with the only black paint on hand. Well. next trip to home depot, I got a sand-blaster and a sack of...

Sat since about '90 at my first house. Been 10 years in this spot. I did drive it here. I even went 'wheeling once. Now it is time. Fresh hoses, EBay carb, thermostat housing. Started it today. No brakes yet. Left rear is done, gotta get to the rest (new cylinders) and see about new lines.

I put the dana 20 on and then lifted both up into the truck. No modifications at all. Same d-shafts, crossmember etc....I used an Advanced adapters part for...

Truck been sitting 10 years. Gonna start her up soon. When I put fuel in the tanks, it seemed to gurgle in slowly and then actually spit some back out (both tanks). Is there a vent or something that may be clogged? Thanks for any advice.....

Bronco been sitting for 10 years. Started to bring her back to life. I never knew if I had a lift or not. I want to get a new suspension but need to save up for it so I'm just gonna replace my bushings for now. The old polyurethanes are wasted. The truck had terrible tire wear so I want the...
