Yesterday I was working on my C-10, stripping paint off the tailgate. I was doing ok, but the corners in the lettering were giving me fits. I decided to break out my sandblaster and give it a try. I had some trouble with it the last time I used it. The control valve at the nozzle quit working, it would spray air and grit non-stop, not good. I bought a new valve, and finished up the tailgate. It was working pretty good, so I rolled it over to the Jimmy frame. I got it pretty good from the tranny back, but ran out of sand. I will probably pull the engine/tranny and finish it up another day.
Just for your info, sandblasting is terribly messy work, and not exactly cheap. I need to find some cheaper sand. I paid $26 per bucket, about 25 lbs.
