Welcome to the site, from Kentucky!

Truth-be-told, the sand blaster kept clogging up while doing the tailgate, so I only used the power washer (water only) on the side. I have a fine narrow tip for the power washer that knocked everything off perfectly. With the Ospho, I didn't have to sand down the rust at all. Made the side a...

The truck is all stock, however it's actually a 73. I added that tag before I took posession and realized it's a 73 when I registered it. I guess I forgot to update my info. It was made by AM General. I would think there wasn't much changed on these trucks thru the years.

Finally got the time to do some painting to the outside of my truck. I purchased a sand blasting attachment for my power washer and used that to clean up one side of the bed. I'm just knocking off loose paint and rust. Perhaps someday I'll strip it down and give it a new look, but for now...

Needler worked great, but like Redpawn mentioned, debris goes everywhere. Especially cramped up in the lower bowels of the truck. At one point, I had to lay across the top of the rear differentials to get way up in there. learned pretty quick into the power washing that goggles weren't enough...

Just crawled under it with the wand. Pretty tricky getting it in some areas, so i scrubbed with a brush and hosed those spots.

Major cleaning under the deuce this weekend. Power washer, lots of degreaser and scrubbing. Once clean, spent then next day with a wire brush and needler on minor rust areas. I sprayed the cleaned up rust areas with Rust Converter, then rattled can sprayed most of the bottom with Rustoleum...

PareoWC, I recently purchased the Graco. I went with the plug in (not battery) and the upgraded VSP model. It has a 1 to 10 speed adjustment rather than just the low/high. I've only used it twice so far, but on the same project. I painted an old jerry can with it. It sprayed great, but...

Thank you for your service, and welcome from Kentucky.

Spent Saturday installing a pyrometer gauge and a boost gauge. I followed a similar gauge bracket idea from an old post of a fellow SS member I saw awhile ago. Drill and tap was easy (did it with the engine running). I got the existing screw out of the top of the intake for the boost gauge...
