I want to address the rust on my chassis so that my truck lasts a long time. I think getting the chassis sandblasted and painting it with por 15 would be a good way to do that and not too much time and money except that acessing it to do so doesn't seem possible without taking the body off and thats a lot of work from what I've heard. (Is there a way to pull the body off the chassis without pulling the fenders, seats, dash, etc. etc.?)
Is it possible to do a decent job addressing the rust without taking the body off the frame? I was thinking of putting the truck on a lift and having the chassis and underside of the body media blasted while still on frame and then painting everything I can reach with por15. Maybe not the prettiest method but seems like it could be effective. Do you guys think there's any reason not to go that route? What would I want to cover up/protect during the blasting if I did?
