The answer to Ken's question about how much I spent to have my rolling chassis media blasted, is $170. However that included three of the bed crossmembers, two small and the big rear one that runs under the tailgate. I chose media for the reason that it is not going to be as abrasive in moving parts, leaf springs, brakes etc, if I didn't get every last granual when cleaning it up. Sand can cause alot more problems. I do plan to clean very thoroughly, but you never know. It didn't cost anymore in this case. So why not? I hope this helps in your decision whether to have you tailgate done for $30.
