There were various small parts that I powder coated black. It was kind of a random assortment of parts. Several were linkages for the parking brake, front license plate bracket, and a couple driving lights. When I got the truck, it only had one driving light on it. The other was was broken off. Someone had backed into the truck and broken off the driving light and smashed up the grill. The remaining driving light was pretty rusty, so I knew I didn't want to reuse it. I happened to find a nice pair of lights at a local swap meet that looked very close to the original style. The mouting brackets weren't the same, but I fabricated new brackets. The lights were in good shape, but the paint was chipped here and there. I took them completely apart and media blasted the painted parts to clean them up.

I gathered the light housings and the other parts and powder coated them. It's easier to do a bunch at once if possible.
