A lot of the heavy stuff scrapes off pretty well with a stiff scraper. It's just a time consuming, zero enjoyment kind of process. Can always tell where the rear pinion and the output flange of the t case are located

I think that is when it really looks it's best. Stripped to bare metal/initial primer and epoxy primer sprayed. Looks factory fresh. We set the body on the roller today and the rockers down is the best looking part of the truck!
