Trailing arms are solid and in great shape. Core support is a different story issues there to be addressed. Pin holes under the entire length and the famous battery decay on the battery side. Repair might be extensive and not worth it. Cab firewall and floor may end up getting some sand before said and done. Sand was on sale just over $4 a bag making it a deal. Since a local rental wanted to rent a tow behind trailer 300 lb blaster with 100CFM plus compressor for about $180. If you have doubts about using a 10 lb blaster we had no problems using a 18 CFM upright compressor n saved a boat load of money that way. Five bags of 75 lbs to do a frame that was pressure washed before hand.
