Well today was a good day. I went to pull off the spare tire mount, and found it would be virtually impossible without pulling the air tanks out. The bed is off so I can get to the bolts. NONE of them stripped out, that's gotta be a first. All the air line fittings came off easily too. There was a LOT of rust on the frame and the back of the spare bracket, got it all cleaned off and put rust converter on it until I can get primer on it. I'll be able to sandblast the frame now behind the tanks, and paint the tanks and brackets. Just got to find a cheap sandblast gun. The last one I had, you can't get ceramic nozzles for anywhere. I got the duals off so the frame behind the cab is ready to go. I'm going to put a couple of grade 8 washers in between the spare tire bracket and the frame so dirt and water won't collect there.
