I have restored 3 trucks and I found sending the big parts to be bead blasted lets me know exactly what I am up against and it’s done in one day. The small parts I put in a refrigerator box and blast them using
Glass bead and a Le Mac bead blaster I do it that way so all the paint is removed in one or two days and I can concentrate on the metal work. Some times it is a little disappointing what I have to work with after it comes back. But that’s part of the job .

Following along with loads of interest. Im doing a 58 right now, i had a twisted cab! Got it straighten so the doors now fit.
I took the doors off and got them blasted, so you could see all the issues, or pleasent surprises. Mine are solid, just shoping trolley dents. Very rare. Keep going, im with ya!
