Re: Uncle Loyd's 72' C-10

I stopped in to order a driveshaft and got sent back home to count the splines on the tail shaft. Having a wife that’s an art teacher has its perks every now and then. She had some clay that made that job much easier...

While I was out I picked up one of those gravity feed pneumatic media blasters from Harbor Freight. I need to get several small parts cleaned up for painting and thought I’d give it a try. I say 2 thumbs up! 20 bucks won’t get you much these days but this little sucker earns its keep. I filled the blasters hopper half way with fine grit coal slag and shot a hood hinge. Waaaay easier than hand sanding!
