Uuuhhhmmm. You might want to look at my cab and fenders. All of them were blasted. Sand in a majority of spots - remove surface rust other media in remaining areas for paint removal.
I have zero warping from this process. It does matter who does it. Some are better than others.
But - in general you are correct - forget the sand on the body, use other media designed for what you are trying to remove.

As for stripping the frame. The advice given is great, but I would add one - the Flap Disk. Is absolutely amazing! Strips faster than a cup brush and lasts a long time. We stripped our entire frame using cup brushes and flap disks. It took a very very long time to get into all those little nooks. Not to mention the untouchables in some of the x-members. We then scrapped the frame and started from scratch (for several reasons). Litterally - scratching my butt saying what in the @#$% do I do now!
