Re: 67 frame swb ideas

We used silica sand, put down a huge tarp, got a few 50# bags, and kept sweeping it up and shoveling it back in. I think we used an old window screen to keep any big chunks of debris out. We have a small pressure pot that works great but for this we rented a larger blaster and industrial trailer type compressor. Our home compressor would just not put out the CFM it required for the larger blaster. Since we rented the stuff Saturday and kept it until Monday we didn't really pay for Sunday. We didn't pay for rental when the business was not open and there was a small fee depending on how many hours you put on the compressor. I think the 12 volt hour meter had an intermittent connection... Got the sand from the local Menards, that's been several years ago so I don't remember the price but I don't remember it being very expensive. We also have a rural gravel driveway and did the bottom of the cab and box at the same time. We tried to plan it so that we had everything ready and didn't have to spend time messing with stuff. Good luck!
