coach, I'm sure you don't want your thread clogged up with pages of what to coat your frame with, there is tons of info out there. Would I say the best option is pay to blast and then epoxy primer. YES, but..... would I also say buy all your tools from America? YES is that feasible NO. for you its different because this is a family truck and its a forever truck. So if you want to ball out by all means do so. But like a lot of guys on here some cuts need to be made. I'v personally never heard bad things about rust inhibiting coatings, esp when top coated.

Flap discs are going to be your best option IMO if you're not blasting the frame. that and a cut off wheel. You are not going to get the surface as good as blasting, but its the next best thing, which is sometimes the pill you have to swallow on building a truck.
