Hey guys,
I started working on freshening up the Slug for winter.
I am installing a Fisher plow frame for my 8' 6" speedcast plow.
Also installing new, heavy duty leaf springs with new poly bushings and hangars.
Also installing new extra heavy duty shocks.
I torched the old, rusted leaf spring hangars off and scrubbed the frame down to clean metal, then sprayed on a couple coats of rust reformer followed by a zinc primer, bumper paint, and satin clear coat.
My new front leaves have new poly bushings and hardware and a similar paint job. They should lift the nose of the truck about 1in. New u bolts as well. Also fabricated new shock mounts.
I noticed that my front driver side body mount is rotted to **** and the bushing is shot. I was wondering if there is a source for new radiator support mounts, the only ones I have been able to find are rather expensive (122$ each). At that price, I would be better off building my own.
