Hey, guys n gals, I'm back and finally got my blaster and compressor up and running and decided to use the big truck for a rolling advertisement.

I pulled the bed off (what was left -framing- is up for sale.. and rewired the starting harness, pulled the carb and made one good one from 3. Then found out that I really didn't study the linkage to get it back to the peddle correctly. I should have it all linked up this week.
SO, the idea was to blast the D/S of the truck and resto-mod the truck and make it a kind of rolling advertisement of what can be done with my blaster.
It's a DUSTLESSBLASTING.COM unit DB500. It gives me about 40min of blast time and will be mounted on back, along with a water tank and the crushed glass media.

I'm kinda behind in what I've wanted to do and will be getting new glass and weatherstripping. I didn't have time to get the windows covered and blasted away. It really did't pepper the glass unless I got really close, unlike sand.
The blasting tank holds 20gal of water and 200lbs of glass, along with 28oz of a rust preventative hold-tight 102. To stop flashrust for a few hours.. They say about 36hrs but not for me.. Got a little the next morning.
Then shot some Tractor supply grey primer (oil based) and will be shooting the cream yellow tomorrow or Tues.
At about $50 bucks for a gal, it was WELL WORTH IT!!
Went on ultra smooth, didn't fish-eye and actually has a satin finish.
I'm NOT making a show truck out of it, just a statement. SO, I didn't fill in any dents or bondo anything. Just blasted and primed. It only took me about 30-45min to blast that side!!

I'll do a quick wet sand with soapy water and some 400 and let that dry and then the color for the cab.
Here's some pics and will be chugging along with this thread.

OH, and Thank you Grigg for your help.
I wasn't trying to sound arrogant, just trying to learn as much as i can.. sorry if I came across that way.

Luckily the hydrovac setup looks to have been rebuilt at some point not too long ago. Just needs new hoses, which might open the proverbial can of worms since the bleeders and lines don't want to move AT ALL without twisting the lines..

I REALLY wanted to convert to a '94 budget rental truck's axles f/r and hydrOboost to have 4whl discs and eventually a pair of Alcoa's and SUPER wides in the rear. Kinda giving it some attitude.
