How worried are you about rust?

I spun one of them dang leaf spring bolts which has a "catch" on it. It scraped all the paint off the mounting location (just where the bolt head sits). Would you of went ahead and just tightened the bolt or would you have removed bolt, spray painted paint scratch, and reinstall bolt the next day?

 

just tightend it.. I got better things to worry about.

I would like to paint my whole frame one of these days, just for looks.

 

Rust in the dirtay south? I wouldn't bother but it's your truck.

 

Give it a little shot of Fluid Film and call it a day.

 

That's what people love about Florida............cars dont rust down here.

 

Never heard of it.

 

Where I live, anything not painted or plated is guaranteed to turn rusty after one winter. Where you live, rust shouldn't be an issue.

 

rust never sleeps...and I like sleep.

so I don't worry about it.

 

So untrue.

 

Don't look too closely.....you'll see all sorts of areas that are rusty and/or not protected.

Don't sweat the small stuff..... Unless you're bored, don't have a job, and need something to keep you busy....Have at it...
