lol, it wasn't me asking, just a thread I read a while ago. Just reminded me of all the opinions that were given instead of an actual answer.

Just got done chipping up all the bedliner that was coming up in my interior....then took a wire wheel to the floor, then did a rust treatment.

Next 70+ Degree day where it will not get below 55 at night....it gets redone. This, my friends, will make me happy.

Cordelia...started rebuilding those leaf springs...I am using them as is, but adding in another main mil-wrapped around the original. This is what I am looking for a good graphite dry lube for...works wonders between the leafs.

Once the leafs are rebuilt...I will be ready for lift...but even though I am itching to...I still think I will wait till I land a job. Call it my reward.
