@Caman96 and a torch, you’ll see the metal sweat kindof then you can let it cool then paint.

That's purty! Wait, did you paint the seals on the U-joint?
What I might do instead is just coat the parts in PB Blaster Surface Shield. That will make it easy on me, and it will prevent rust/corrosion.

You're rebuilding not broken stuff and now you want the easy way out?
Mainly because I'm not going to be able to paint the frame, so why bother with any suspension or drivetrain components?
Nah they’re just fresh
I don’t think we NEED to really paint stuff here in Texas. It’ll get a little surface color on it. Besides, if you’re keeping the 5.7, you’ll end up with a front cover leak that will coat the chassis stuff in a natural rust preventative anyways

You live in the rust belt (I think) and I down south. I don't think you hate rust as much as you say you do. LOL
To be honest though, I may paint stuff. I don't know. It's just that seeing chassis black-color painted things against a background of a non-painted orange-hued frame is going to bug me all the time. If I can figure out how to get the frame painted, then everything else would follow.

Tell me about it. That or power steering fluid. I still have to scrub the front frame to clean all the oil and power steering fluid. Not looking forward to that. Can't power wash it because it's in the garage. Going to have to resort to a scrub brush and bucket. F.Nah they’re just fresh
