I sandblasted everthing up to the fenders and bed and said enough and had the rest of the body parts blasted. Don't soda blast. There is chemical issue with the paint. I used lunch bags to put parts in and labeled them. Worked great. Make sketches and take photo's. I still can't remember how a couple of things go back together. Do treat it as a bunch of little projects, I did each part cleaned repaired painted and then put in a box until ready to assemble on the truck.
