It's fiberglass, so you can skip the hammer and dolly step. The texture is just sprayed on, so it can be sanded off. I would use 80 grit to strip it, if you haven't got a lot of bodywork experience. You will see the texture going away pretty quickly. Once it is knocked down, go over everything with 180, them prime and refinish as you would the rest of the truck.
