Yeah similar technique. X the head and then knock them off with the chisel and pound them out. That is what I have been working on and am finishing today.

Removed the cab mounts, running board brackets, and front crossmember. I welded in 1x1 braces to hold it all together for the sandblaster. This frame has 6 rivets left on it and it is ready for the blaster this week.





Once I get it back from the blaster, I am going to epoxy it and start working on the crossmembers and start mocking up the suspension.
