Did You Go All The Way?

So I'm laying under my truck with a grinder and wire wheel, removing undercoating and dirt from my frame. Arms are burning, crap dropping in my face....I'm thinking it would just be easier to pull the cab and sandblast the frame.

Front clip is off for the engine swap, pulled the box to make the frame detailing and exhaust job easier. All that's left is the cab. Few wires, E-brake, brake lines, steering column and 4 cab mounts......off she comes.

Pull the front suspension - dozen or so bolts.....Rear end and trailing arms/springs, 4 more bolts....

Bare frame ready for the blaster.

Holy snow ball Batman! Started as an engine/trans and disc brake swap.

Does this happen to you guys? Have you ever gone all the way? I'm rounding 2nd base and headed for 3rd.........
