    This may be a bit out there as far expense and realistic working expectations.

    Ever thought of tanking the cab and dipping it afterwards? I can't imagine anybody up there does this sort of thing anymore but we always do for motorcycle and other restoration projects.

    Also, what'd you blast it with? (Media Used)

    this isnt going to be anything to "fancy" .. we are on a budget .
    blast media was reg alum. oxide


    but in our "neck of the woods" these cabs in good shape are getting very hard to find . so this is a little bit of an excersize for a NEW FRP cab we are designing

    looks good. Pulling the whole cab off seems a bit extreme though, in a lot of old car restorations I've seen they just weld in new pieces with the body still on the frame..

    This is exactly what we did with my '84 runner body.
    Cut out affected area in drivers floor, bent and welded in some 16ga, and voila!

    ok. Just seemed a bit extensive for some rust repair, unless the rust was really that bad, and in that case a whole new floorpan would probably work better.
