@Deve,
I have been viewing your website, and can really appreciate the evolution of your project.
I am in a similar situation, without adequate space. Being in Italy, I can never hope to take the time to find original replacement parts. As such, most of mine will depend upon re- manufactured parts. As such, any value in a true Restore, will be lost.
However, I have everything removed except the cab from the frame, and am leaning toward removing the cab to adequately refurb the frame and cab. So, why not sandblast the frame....., at some point I have to realize that I'll never achieve a true restore, and stick to my origional ideas of using the truck as an every day driver.
So, the decisions are truely difficult. I will probably pull the cab off...easier for the painters, but will not blast the frame....just a rust converter, primer, and paint.
Anything wrong with this?
