Well, if you're planning to strip it all at once, unless you send it off to be blasted you're in for a mind-numbingly boring undertaking. I did mine in sections, repairing as I went. I tried the stripper and it was messy and took more time than I thought. I wound up buying a WAGNER PAINT EATER and with less than three disks I've stripped the front fenders, hood, gas tank and entire cab inside and out. The tool is light and can be held several different ways which reduces fatigue.

The disks hog through paint quickly and do not remove any metal. The also sell the same disks that can be chucked in a drill or for your conventional angle grinder.

To get into tight places I use NYALOX disks, the 80-grit variety.

I'm lucky because working outside the mess is easy to clean up but inside unless you don't mind the dust could be a problem.

That's my take.
