Nothing major to report, got a couple hours last night and a couple hours tonight...so obviously a total of 4 hours.
Last night I pretty much spent stripping the cab down to the base with nothing left. Not a lot of pics, but not really that exciting either. Everything pretty much came apart fast and easy as expected, it was real nice working at chest height with the cab up on that stand I made.
Took a few photos of the inside of the cab, still actually looks pretty good. Around the A pillar it looks pretty rusty and is a tad worse than I thought, but still really not that bad? I imagine it was a little worse on the drivers side when the snow melted and ran down in that corner.
Tonight I pulled the lower cab out and went after it with the sandblaster. I blasted the inside anywhere there was surface rust. It will all eventually get blasted, but wanted to blow out any surface rust and see where I stood. I tipped it up on the rear and started blasting on the bottom. I think that would go really good except for that undercoating crap on the bottom. I guess it's a good thing since I think that's what salvaged the majority on of the cab and floors on this thing. Just takes time to scrape all that stuff off
I have to work tomorrow evening so in the morning I'm going to start scraping more and blasting more....maybe I'll get it all blasted and then I can shoot some DP over the entire thing before I goto work on the sheet metal.
