Pics work for me. The various browsers have a new plugin out, that actually makes photobucket links work again.

OK wanted to update this post. The below part was 3/4 soaked in vinegar for about a week. (not quite enough to cover) I rinsed with a water hose and blew with air. no wire brush. The other one is as removed from the truck.
I am trying tbugden's method. For a quick test, I grabbed a old transmission mount for the sacrificial metal. and I am using one of the spring hangers as the test.
Will update on that as well

Vinegar used on right
