Thanks all, I jacked it up one end at a time as high as my jack stands would go with a second set on also. And put rust remover grinder on a electric drill motor that was messy. When I painted it I used googles and mask cause all the overspray floats around . I will mask the frame and other painted parts and under coat inside panels the same way . I will pull off bed and clean up bottom of bed. I want to keep it drivable and not let the project overwhelm me by having every part taken off. Its not a show truck its just nice to work on it and have some fun with.
