Your rig looks good. My folks are from Sydney, Cape Breton. I'm due to visit in May. We used to go back every summer and spend spend time on the Bras d'Or lakes. Got some cousins in Halifax, probably not too far from yourself.

spring weren't stiff enough? coils in front? could they have added to coils after the engine swap?

was wondering about that paint.. you used on the frame and tub.... do you have a part number and brand for it.....
were did you buy it from....

thanks

2x on the paint. Will have to check it out.

Awesome bodywork. It's great to see an old rig restored right.

The frame paint is a International Protective Coatings product.( made by International Paints ) It is Interseal 670hs. It is a 2 component high build , high solids surface tolerant epoxy.

If you want a smooth coating then this is not the stuff for you. It is as thick as peanut butter! So when you put it on you roll it or brush it and it will leave a bumpy surface...looks like bed liner.

But this is the stuff they use on off-shore oil rigs so it should be pretty durable.

I purchased it right from the International dealer.
