I'm restoring my 71 blazer to stock and need to know what was originally cadmium -plated. I know the front disc shields were. What about the power brake booster and bracket that connects to the firewall? Anything else? Thanks,
Charlie

tail/stop and park/turn sig housings, hehehehe
they never did a very good job of coating the boosters, they are all surface rusted these days, they look great painted gloss black though, but have to keep fluid off them..

WHEN I'M TEARING A TRUCK DOWN FOR A RESTORATION(I'VE DONE A FEW) ALL THE LITTLE PARTS GO INTO 5 GAL. BUCKETS, NUTS,BOLTS,FUEL FILLER TUBES,TAILGATE HINGES,ALL THE LITTLE CLIPS ON THE FRAME TO SUPPORT WIRING & LINES, DOOR HINGES, DOOR LATCH ASSY.S,DIST. HOLD DOWNS, ECT. ECT. IT'S REALLY NICE PUTTING ONE OF THESE OLD TRUCKS BACK TOGETHER WITH PARTS THAT ARE ALL CLEAN & REPLATED, & LIKE NEW. NOT TO MENTION THEY LOOK GREAT. THERE WAS A PLATING PLACE IN RENO THAT WOULD CHEMICALLY CLEAN & PLATE A 5 GAL. BUCKET OF PARTS FOR $35 BUT THE LAST TIME I WAS BY THERE, THEY HAD EITHER MOVED, OR GONE OUT OF BUSINESS, SO I GUESS I'LL HAVE TO FIND ANOTHER PLACE.
