1980 K100 Cabover Project/daily runner

Get it soda blasted. My cabover they wanted 1200$

 

there is a good 6 coats of paint on mine. i tried various strippers,none of them phase this stuff.

 

Depending on what you have for equipment. ,,,
I sandblast in a portable shelter. Taller wigwam would suit big truck. There is poly on floor for recovering media. Poly also keeps humidity out of portable
Would only be a day of blasting and likely only few hundred pounds sand. I so cheap I recover sand till it's dust

 

i wouldn't sandblast unless it was a stripped bare cab.

 

Nut serts bad to turn in cab. Suggest tape.

 

True enough. Tape would be easiest route.. That's the trouble with old iron, everything strips or is seized.

 

Heat bolts that are stubborn. The little extra time it takes eliminates the need to drill and tap broken bolts out of nutserts .

 

I get what your saying but Little hard sometimes. It's the nutsert that has to be heated not the bolt and there usually behind a panel you can't get too.. or worse, in fiberglass. Like everything on the roof cap of a k100. Kenworth likes to use stainless bolts and the nutserts are steel.. they corrode.

 

Go get air plane stripper. That'll strip anything bare. It'll get behind the paint.

Bolts most breaking when I try to remove.
