You wouldn't want to do a whole truck with it or a whole frame but for small areas it will get the job done. If you have a harbor freight close by they have several little sand blast guns with containers for around 20 bucks. Scroll down https://www.harborfreight.com/catalo...f&q=SANDBLAST+ Not fancy and not for big jobs but one will probably help you get the rust out of the pits and let you prep and prime it with no worries.
Good call, sending it out to blast is out of the budget but buying tools to do it myself is in the budget. What type of media do you personally use? Ive seen walnut shells, glass bead and some charcoal (I think) at the Tractor Supply store near me.
