Worked on it for a couple of hours last night. Removed the parking break assembly, what I think is a heat shield for the engine?, and a couple of misc. brackets. Just need to remove the transmission cross member, scrape some crud off, and the sandblasting can begin. Probably hit it with a wire wheel first where its easy to get to. After sandblasting, ill box the front of the frame, then primer and paint the entire frame just for protection from further rusting. After that, ill start working on fixing rust on the cab which should take me awhile since it will be my first time attempting anything of that nature.

After the rust is patched, it will be a super slow process to finish since we want to spread out the approximately $15k im estimating on spending on the thing over a lengthy period of time.
