A Steck seam buster tool is a big help on this job.. tool number 20015. you cut about 90 % of the way through and then use the tool to strip off the remaining metal

Don't know if I did it right or not, but it's off. Ended using both plasma & cutoff wheel. That Steck tool looks very helpful, especially on the front part of the truck. The reason I thought of the Blair kit was because the welds are so small and close together, the 3/8" HF bit seemed to big, where the Blair kit at least goes down to 5/16.....am I thinking too much?
