Though this truck is relatively free of rust issues there are some furry part that even the dry climate here didn't spare over 25 years.
Yesterday I took the drums, axle carriers, shackles and skidplates in to a DIY sandblasting shop to clean them up. It was fun watching the crud and rust flake away and I'm happy with the result. Pictures are reverse order. wtf

| 3 coats of high temp caliper paint for the drums. No clinical conditions needed here. This is industrial grade shit. LOL |

| Rust paint for the axle carriers |
 |
| This stuff is super thin, almost more of a stain than a paint. So it gets deep in the pores of the metal. |

| sandblasted skidplate |
 |
| ready for paint |
 |
| Massive compressors and sand hoppers. Businesses bring large scale blasting jobs here. A bit overkill for my handful of truck parts |
 |
| Skid and axle carriers pre blast. Rusty and greasy |
