I'm going to build a tank in my back yard that I can put the whole frame in. It cost me over $600.00 to sand blast my 87 GMC I should be able to derust it in the tank plus I will be able to put grills fenders hoods and even the bottom of the cabs in there

I used a small blaster and that is how much sand I used. Won't do that again

On both of my 4x4s they are bolted in place. I believe it is a fine thread bolt. Uses x4 of them.
