All excellent advice, though doing it all myself in the side yard has its appeal to me. But, it sounds like most of you leave the job to someone else. I won't have the luxury of taking just the frame down and having it done. My work space is very limited. So will start with all that's behind the cab. Learn and then proceed forward as reassembly is completed.
This chemical stripping interests me though. I'll check it out.
Thank You all for the input. This is the greatest forum. I hope to be able offer my experience at some point. The payback. THANKS!
