I have probably tried every conceivable means of sand blasting. I started to do my first 1950 frame with a suction feed bucket system (calling it a system is really being nice). Its a freakin bucket and a hose with the gun attached! Then I progressed to a Harbor Freight 80 pound pressure blaster that lasted about the same amount of time as the suction feed system did. So that means I got about 1/4 of one frame done.
I then purchased a much more professional hose, water trap, and valve shutoffs for the HF blaster. The HF blaster is just fine as long as you understand you will have to make improvements. Once I replaced all of that and a better inline style gun with a carbide tip, it all came together. Now that's what I use outdoors. I am not sure if there are any companies that make adequate pressure blasters out of the box. Each improvement was necessary to make it useable.
As far as indoor blasting cabinets, TP Tool makes really nice solutions that require no modifications at all. Keep in mind that ceramic nozzles die very fast so even though the carbide nozzles are way higher priced, just pay and get the carbide right away. It will save you a lot of money in the long run.
When you say for 'home use', it makes me a little nervous because if you will never EVER blast anything ever again except for this one truck, just use a gravity feed cheapo and spend a few extra weeks doing it. If you MIGHT maybe end up needing to do more, any pressure blaster plus modifications will be good. But then you have another issue.. your air compressor. Nothing takes more air than pressure blasting. If you have a single stage 60 gallon compressor, you will be blasting for about 10 minutes, and waiting for the compressor to catch up for about 10 minutes, all the while running the compressor non-stop. Very hard on it. A two stage 80 gallon compressor may be adequate. I didn't see it that way and I have two compressors in tandem so I have twice the storage capacity and twice the output. Even then, it runs much more than it stops.
You can see the equipment I use on my website. I went down this road after taking my first frame and body parts to a 'professional' media blaster and it came back just a little different than when I gave it to them. Cost me over 800$ to learn (yet again) that if you want something done right.... YOU GOTTA DO IT YOURSELF!!!
