Wow that was quick! Hopefully we'll get them painted tomorrow. Depends on the other guy's schedule.

"Tank" my 91 Crew Cab Dually
- Thread starter chillman88

I started brushing on some of the cosmoline today. My very first thought was that I got jipped. They call it heavy cosmoline and it's extremely runny.
I got thinking about it and it has been on the back porch so it was warm, and the frame has been baking in the sun. I think the galvanizing is just too smooth to really hold it. Going over a spot that had partially dried gave me much more expected results. I think a second or third coat should give good solid coverage.

Thanks for the link I just spent way too much on that site.Anyone interested this is the busbar I used. Rated for 250amps
Large 4 Post Terminal Connector Busbar 250 Amps with Cover

I used the 3/8 one. I might have been better off if I'd used the 5/16 one though.
Bolt depot is a great place to source flange bolts and other hardware.
Yessir that's where I got the ones I used!
I'm looking forward to a care package from you soon! I'm not telling yet but I'm excited!

Seems there are some covert operations starting to unfold here. 
Can't wait to see how this comes together.

It's nothing super spectacular, but I'm still excited for it!

When will the great reveal happen?
Now don't get THAT hyped up hahaha. In a couple weeks or so. The main reason for not spilling the beans is umm... Lack of funding approval from certain interested parties that might make me sleep in the garage

Well I expected that to be a pain in the rear and it did not disappoint. Definitely could have gone worse though so I can't complain.
Got lucky with one of them, came out with the bushing when I pressed it out. Shackles were the "moulded" style so no sleeves to deal with so they went smoother.
The plus side of 30 year old bushings is they're usually so dried out they don't fight near as much coming out! I'll bush the springs another time.

Icing on the cake! New spring tip pads.
Like $30 for ten on ebay. They work good enough for that price!
Unfortunately however, the center pins are 7/16 and I ordered 3/8 so I'll have to hold off a little bit longer before I can assemble the packs.
