Power Washing

I have a question for y'all that have torn trucks down and cleaned them up to paint the frame and suspension parts.
I had planned on taking off the bed and front clip to clean everything up and paint with the black rust neutralizer paint that I have seen many of y'all use on here.
My dad had the truck sprayed with an undercoating protectant when he purchased it and now 46 years later it is old, dry, and flaking off in some areas. Not to mention that it is caked over some of the bolts. My plan is to rent a 3500 psi pressure washer to blast all the loose stuff off and degrease while I am at it. That way it will be ready for some scraping and then painting with the black paint. I think it is the POR I have seen on here? I figured it would help with replacing all the suspension parts, reinstalling the motor and transmission, servicing the rear end, checking fuel and break lines, wires and relocating the gas tank.
Do y'all think this would be strong enough to blast the loose stuff off?
