blasting the cab

[oldno7]

Hey guy's. So I'll give you a brief run down of my truck. I picked it up in southern OK. 4 year's back. for 500.00 No motor tranny or front clip, and had been sitting in a field for 15 years. So I drug it home to ILL. This is gold here in ILL. 85% rust free. I have been collecting goodies for awhile now. OK so it's disassembled, the cab is stipped and ready for some attention. I talked to a local body shop and he said they would blast it for me for 200.00 bucks. I think that's ok. He said they use aluminum oxide. From what I know this is an ok way to blast. Not the best but better than some ways. We don't have many options in Spfld. From what I've heard alum- has a rough texture but removes the surface faster so it's not on the metal for a long time. Which should reduce warpage. I'm not good with the computer, but I'll try to put picture's up later. I'll take any advice on this issue. oldno7

Sandblasting is the way to go, $200.00 is about right, depending on where you are, heck it took me 6-8 hours to do mine and about 500lbs of sand, granted I have more time than money but i would have paid someone 2 beans to do it for me had I been able to.
