I was planning on taking the bed off and either wire brushing or blasting up until the cab. From there I was not sure. I really don't feal like lifting off the cab. I would then wire brush as much as I can under it and finish it off with 2 coats of rust neutralizer, 2 coats of primer and two coats of paint. Would that be sufficient? Are there any tips for getting the upper side of the frame under the cab? Any additional information would be helpful. The truck is excellent otherwise and the frame is only surface rusted so I would like to stop it there. Thank you, JIM

I took my cab off to get the top of the frame. I think a guy on here posted that he but 4x4 blocks on his frame to raise the cab and painted it, but that sounds like a hassle. If you don't raise it, then there is only about 1" of clearance, and it is hard to get a brush in there.
