Well, I finally got off my tail last month after letting this sit for over a year. Have POR-15 on the front part of the frame and axle. Got the oil pan cleaned up and painted. Was not surprised to find plastic pieces in the bottom of the oil pan so I guess that's another item on the list.
Also finally placed my first order to marlin. Knuckle rebuild kit, wheel spacers and other misc stuff should arrive today. Hopefully I can get the front of this rust bucket off jackstands in the next couple weeks. As I looked at my initial list of stuff I wanted to do up front, and what also this little crap is costing, I decided I'm going to have to dial it back a bit for now. Shooting for pretty close to stock, but rust free and solid for now. Need to pull some pics off the camera I guess.
