Some great ideas. I think I'll do it as Grump's suggested. Seems to me the gears remain in tack with the pinion and gears pin in place, so just as well let it hang down. Spent 3 hours today doing just that to clean the axle. Second cleaning and more to go. No surprise to those who've done this, the axle has caked on grime where the lower U-bolt plate seats for leaf springs. Got half of it. Penetrating oil soaked rags should do it.
Great idea with that frame ghalperin's. I see Harbor Freight has engine stands pretty cheap. $170ish gets you a rotisserie and cart. Existing bolt holes lined up? What you guys figure a SWB frame weighs?

Interesting, because they recommend sponge applicators for the primer coat. More I think about it, more I think I'll spray. Thanks for the tips.

One of the differences between MasterSeries and Por15 is Masters can take the sun exposure.
