That is very cool. If I could afford it, I'd have the bed on a rotisserie, cab stripped and on a dolly, fenders & hood loose. It is going to cost about the same doing it on the frame so why not just do it all the way. I think the advantage of this is that it can clean strip it pretty quickly without damage or nasty chemicals and give you a few days to work with it before putting on some primer.

I'm thinking 2 hours from parking to drive away so say $150 per hour labor charge. To mobilize your new diesel truck and blaster with trailer maybe another $100 maybe a lot more. The cost of equipment (if you could even rent it) maybe $200-300?, cost of blasting media / materials maybe another $100. So that works out to around $700-800 in cost. So making 500 or 600 in profit not too bad and certainly not obscene. I don't think you could get the job done any better or faster by hand but I am no body man.
