C4 Corvette IRS Clean-up before install, I need your opinions...

[Tagg33]

I have a complete front and rear suspension from a 94 corvette that I will soon be putting in my 84 GMC swb. Nate at Porterbuilt is making me a C4 Dropmember for the front. I am working on cleaning up these parts and grinding down the casting lines that are on every edge. I also had the brake rotors powdercoated black and turned.

I do plan to have a build thread once I get started with the dropmember.

I was hoping to get some opinions on the look of the beadblasted rear knuckle that you see in the pic below. I plan to blast all of the aluminum parts and clear coat them. I like the look a lot and for the money it beats silver powdercoat or paint. Less materials equals less cost and I will probably be able to blast the parts for free at a friends shop.

Changing the truck over from the prostreet setup that it is now to full air ride, c4 dropmember, c4 IRS 4 link with cantilevered air bags, 22" wheels on all 4 and hopefully Accuair for management system.
