[BAD1916]

I was in the same boat. I had it up on jackstands in the driveway with the engine,trans all front and rear suspension exhaust, lines, rear end and gas tank out. I kept going back and forth on pulling the frame. My truck is a driver so I decided just to really clean up the frame firewall forward really good and the rest I hit quick with a wire wheel and blacked it out. It came out good enough for me and is clean enough to work on without getting too dirty. I agree with Accelo on cleaning the rear ends. It was a bear moving it around by myself to clean it up and paint it. Everything else got powder coated and hardware got plated. Rest of the truck still looks like crap.
