Now we put new parts or good clean used parts together. Alot more enjoyable to work on.
Thats a good idea I have a daily driver and was thinking of doing my frame and suspension parts like this.

Did the rental compressor have a nozzle for sandblasting?
Where did you get the blasting material?
Can this be done under the truck, or did you need to take the clip, cab, bed, and engine/tras out?
