Most of the frame is already down to bare metal. I don’t think POR 15 will adhere. I have heard some people really like POR 15, but I don’t...
I have a few thousand dollars in parts, but those were purchased when I had the extra money. I’m a 27 year old dad and work full time. I already...

I bought Van Sickle tractor and implement paint and primer. I don’t care about it being show quality but I do want the metal to be protected and...

I have been to my local parts stores and they seem to have little to no knowledge when it comes to parts. Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.

I have a Ford 9" rear axle out of a 1964 F100 which has the sealed bearings and 28 splines. Does anyone know the correct part number for the axle...

I am hoping I can get by without disassembling the third member. Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
This axle was pulled from a complete truck by the previous owner, so it hasn't been sitting outside on the ground at least. I'll try brake...
