    Why don’t Star Adjusters line up with access ports on 10b backer plates?

    Does it have the tailgate by any chance?

    I see that it's UV stable but it's still a primer to be top coated so what is the benefit of being UV stable? POR 15 with a top coat will be UV stable as well no? Not being snarky, I'm interested in using it.

    Directions call for it straight and let it set overnight for rust removal. If you're using it to etch bare metal then it gets cut. I tried it on a test area and it worked pretty well. I'm going to hit it with this acid and then cover it with a cold galvanizing spray paint. It'll be interesting...

    Where did you get that from? I'd like to find it locally instead of waiting on another order.

    But then I wouldn't need an ice fishing/Winter vehicle anyway! haha

    My tubes are certainly rusted a bit in that area but still seem structurally sound. That area held a lot of dirt and moisture in there.

    That was the initial reason I was under here! I want to pull a llittle bigger ice shack and was looking at adding air bags. When I saw the state of the leaf springs I decided to just go with heavier leafs and new shocks. Then I decided to take a gander in the brakes and here we are!

    The problem I have is that I really like this vehicle. I don't see many suburbans of this era (or any for that matter) with the tailgate. It's my ice fishing/winter rig and while I don't want to stick 10k into it I'd like to keep it going as much as reasonably possible. I should maybe look for...
