Not having the equipment to do it myself, I sent a load of parts out for media blasting and got to work on other stuff, including cleaning up the frame (or trying to) with a variety of wire brushes, removing the spare tire support to make room for a Blazer-style gas tank, and cleaning up an auto tranny crossmember I picked up for the planned 700R4 conversion. Below results are from September 1. (As a single dad with majority custody of the kids, finding free time has been tough and progress comes in spurts that roughly correlate with when the kids are with their mom.)
