POR-15 is pretty good for a rust restorer type paint. With diamond plate, it's tough to get the nooks and crannies unless you're media blasting. Eastwood has a ceramic chassis black which we just used on a couple of frame jobs. It's an epoxy type and not too hard on the wallet.

That's gonna be a nice truck when you're done with it. The trough can make life easier, but so do power jacks.
TLBUSER,
Thanks for the infon on the Eastwood, I'll do some reading on it.
As for the power jacks... My only experience was on a 2003 LQ horsetrailer that I used to drag around the country. It was a 4 horse, with mid tack, slide out, and 16' short wall. It was one heavy SOB, and the dual jacks were operated by an electric motor and chain drive. If for some reason the batteries were down on the trailer, I would have to hand crank, on the low speed, and if I recall correctly, I think I cranked something like 50 times for an inch of elevation... Anyhow, I have considered going to a hydraulic jack setup on a couple of my larger trailers, but haven't made the decision to spend the coin yet...
